She arrived on time with no glitches and was able to get music playing and class started promptly.
She worked with my 16 year old daughter Olivia who had a great time, and they made plans for what they will be focusing on in the future. Tanya is a gifted dancer, but even better, she is a great teacher too. !

Have you always wanted to dance, but are too scared to jump into a group class? Are you taking classes, but feeling like you're stuck and can't figure out HOW to make your body move the way other people can? I can help you! I teach Zumba(r) Fitness classes and have had several students approach me for help. At first I was hesitant, I am NOT a professional dancer... BUT, watching their progress was incredibly rewarding! I can teach you basic Hip Hop, Tap, Salsa, Merengue, Swing, Cha Cha, Samba, you name it, we'll do it! Let's get you moving!!

About Marilyn B.

What makes dance lessons with me unique is that I am very easy going and very supportive of my students! I myself, have been there before as a beginner, shy, scared to let loose and even try to dance in front of people, let alone one person! I never judge my students and I try my absolute best to make my student feel comfortable and motivated to learn how to dance! I never rush my students when learning any specific dance techniques because dance can be a personal thing as it all depends on the dancer themself. I teach dance with a passion because I want to try to show every student I have how beautiful and fun dance can really be! Dance is truly an art and with every class I have taught my goal at the end of every class is to make sure my student leaves being more confident, happy, openminded and determined about the true art of dance!
About Marilyn
I went to Wilson Classical High School in Long Beach and enrolled in the dance department! I was apart of Wilson's Dance Department all 4 years! Ever since then my passion and love for dance grew stronger everyday!
I was also apart of Wilson's Spirit Drill Team, also known as The Bruinettes. Being apart of my high school's drill team really made performing and entertaining at football and basketball games become an absolute thrilling experience and really helped me grow as a d
This past summer i have been teaching my former teammates who still attend high school at Wilson about the basic yet important techniques needed for dance and i absolutely love teaching them!
My goal after every class is for each and every one of them to be a better dancer than they were before and to hopefully grow a passion for dance!
