Neda Story

I'm Neda and Zumba is truly in my blood! My mother is full blooded Puerto Rican and that's why I love the latin music so much! I've been a fitness instructor and personal trainer for over 21 years. I've taught all types of aerobic classes including Kickboxing, Step, Spin, Pilates, Bootcamp, and so on. Now, I only teach Zumba. People actually SMILE when they are in a Zumba class! It's so much fun you don't feel like you are exercising. I've been married for 25 years. My husband is an Airline Captain. We are blessed with two 16 year old boys that we adopted from Russia. As a family we always have fun dancing (even though it's not always pretty!)

I'm Lainey and since February 2007 I've been a Zumba fanatic!  I got my certification in April 2007 and have been teaching ever since!  It's the love of my life (besides my husband and my new little one on the way) and I couldn't be happier!  I teach regular Zumba along with Hip Hop Zumba and I'm so lucky to have such an awesome group of people who come to all of my classes.  I was a dancer growing up and it's helped so much to make me the instructor that I am today!  Smiles are contagious so when you're dancing in my class, you have NO EXCUSE not to smile and be happy!  You leave all your other worries at the door and join the party once you walk in!  I've been married for over 4 years to my husband, Tobe, and have 2 outrageously crazy dogs, Zoey & Bernard.  I'm expecting a little one in June 2011 and couldn't be more excited.  I'm also a teacher so Zumba gives me the stress reliever that I need at the end of a crazy day!

I'm Christie and a retired teacher in the Moon Area School District after teaching for 34 years. I live in Moon with my husband, Larry. We have 2 wonderful children, ages 31 and 25. I received my Zumba certification in April, 2007 and I am so grateful that I did. I have always had an interest in Latin music and dance, so Zumba, for me, seems like a natural fit. I have been with Latin RhythmZ since its inception. I will never forget walking into the studio with Neda and Lainey, each of us carrying paint, ladders, and brushes, and saying “Wow. This is the beginning of a dream come true.” I am very grateful to be associated with Latin RhythmZ, the staff, and our "students"! I really enjoy seeing the smiles on their faces as they experience Zumba and all of its positive effects on the body and the mind.

Sabrina de Matteo

Hello! I'm a full time professional musician/actress/dancer and I'm so proud to be a part of the Zumba family! I've performed around the US and Canada in the most amazing venues, yet nothing compares to the joy I feel when I go back to my Latino roots and shake that stress away! I had the honor of performing with Beto Perez (the creator of Zumba!) for his Master class in Pittsburgh 7/31/09 and with Erick Santana 3/2/10 in the Cayman Islands and Pittsburgh 4/25/2010.             Let's ZUMBAAAA!!!
