When people ask me why I started Latina Dance Fitness, the answer is simple — I have always loved to dance. Here is my story.
When people ask me why I started Latina Dance Fitness, the answer is simple — I've always loved to dance.
I moved to Ireland from Colombia 11 years ago, and like many of us who settle somewhere new, I brought a piece of home with me. For me, that piece was music. Not just the Colombian rhythms and South American beats I grew up with, but everything — hip hop, jazz, salsa, merengue. Music has always been how I feel most like myself.
After having my three children here in Dublin, I knew I wanted to create something. Something that was mine, something that connected my two worlds — the energy and rhythm of Latin culture, and the life I'd built here in Ireland.
That's how Latina Dance Fitness was born.
Each class is one hour long and brings together all the genres I love. The idea isn't just to dance — it's to move your body, lift your heart rate, and leave feeling better than when you walked in. It's a cardio workout, yes, but one that doesn't feel like exercise. It feels like a party.
Whether you've never danced before or you grew up with rhythm in your bones, there's a place for you in my class. Come and dance with us. 💃
