Margarita Benitez Baeza

My name is Margarita Benitez and have been a Zumba Zin Instructor since 2018 and Pound Pro Instructor just this year in 2021. 

I found myself needing to regain my strength and coordination again after facing a permanent wheelchair back in 2012.  I only dodged that fact thanks to fully involving myself in dance with Zumba.  After some time I also took classes with the Pound program and found myself working on strengthening and alignment.  I needed that push so I obtained my teaching certification as a Pound Pro.

I like to slow the movement down for our students that may have limitations, limited range of motion, or are just new to movement.  I take the fear away and bring in the fun.  This takes away any anxieties my students may have.  We get through the workouts together, safely, with technique, and have a great time doing it.
