Who is Rosa? Rosa is a dreamer who was born with a passion for dance. Since a very young age Rosa dreamed of becoming a back up dancer for Michael Jackson (RIP) and Janet Jackson. As she got older, her dream upgraded to becoming their choreographer instead (LOL); however; resources were not in place for all the education required to accomplish such a dream. When Rosa reached her teenage years, she started gaining weight and found it hard to keep under control, which kept getting worse as she got older. Not liking to work out, she decided to join the salsa community in her home town (Fresno, CA) and went to as many salsa nights as possible in order to burn a few calories here and there. After it was all said and done Rosa’s weight kept creeping up; that’s when she knew she had to do something about it and started committing some of her time to teaching Hip-Hop classes, Exotic dance classes and Latin dance/fitness classes for her local Adult School Community Education. Rosa figured if she had other people depending on her to teach class, she will be more serious about getting in shape being that she had no choice but to show up. Teaching one hour here and there didn’t do the trick. After reaching her highest weight of 253 lbs she decided that it was ENOUGH. Luckily, that was around the time Zumba hit the market. Rosa bought the VHS tapes (yes, I said VHS, LOL) and started working out. Wow, in a couple of weeks she actually lost 5 lbs. Rosa got so excited she decided to become a Zumba certified instructor back in 2004 and started teaching at various gyms around town. The more classes she taught; the more she fell in love with her clients, her results, and the fact that she was able to help people who like her, had weight issues.
In 2007 Rosa decided this was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life and re-directed her dancer/choreographer dream to dancer/fitness Instructor dream.
Rosa taught full-time at various gyms around town for about 2 years and noticed that people were actually following her wherever she went. With that said, she found the faith to open her own dance/fitness studio currently located on the SW corner of Ashlan & Willow in Fresno CA. With all the fear of an entrepreneur but with all the love of her followers and her faith in God she is now about to celebrate her 2nd year in business.
Rosa’s Passion isn’t just dance anymore. Rosa’s new passion is YOU! your life, your health, your well-being! With a new-found love for fitness, Rosa continuously strives to learn more and more in order to give you her very best. She figures if she offers you her best, then you can turn around and give your best to the world.
Peace, Love, & Health!
