About Me
Keishia would consider Zumba her calling! She has been formally dancing and moving all of her life in one form or another, but what she loves about Zumba is the notion of exercise in the disguise of a party, and the Zumba format has been her most frequently used cardio choice for over 5 years. After transforming and sculpting her own body using the Nutrisystem weight loss program with a side of Zumba, she garnered the company's attention and became one of the national winners of the Nutrisystem Fab 40 Weight Loss Challenge. She is now one of their “brand ambassadors” and is currently featured in several national print, Internet, and television commercials on behalf of the company. You can read her featured story on the Nutrisystem website. Keishia’s success catapulted her passion and desire to share her acquired knowledge of health and wellness with others by becoming a licensed fitness instructor. She takes pride in the authenticity of the Zumba experience she provides while focusing on musical genres that highlight her heritage, personal tastes and dance training: African, Samba, and Caribbean rhythms. Normally, she also throws in Hip Hop choreography straight from music videos to give her students some material for the next time they hit the party scene! And she’s been known to set up dance battles and soul train dance lines to keep it fresh and interactive! When you come to her classes, Keishia doesn’t care if you know how to dance; she just wants students who feel they have to dance! If you want to burn some serious calories and learn some hip and sexy new moves, then let her meet, empower, and inspire you! To keep her life balanced, when she is not teaching Zumba, Keishia is a nonprofit executive director, who increases educational opportunities and college access for young people in under resourced communities. She has been an educator for over 15 years and appreciates empowerment in all forms: academic, as well as physical fitness and mental wellness. She holds a BA from Georgetown University and Master’s degree from Harvard University. To learn more visit www.keishia.com.
