History
Celebrity fitness trainer, "Beto" Perez, stumbled upon the concept of Latin-inspired dance-fitness in his native Cali, Colombia in the mid-90s.
One day, he walked into his aerobics class and realized he had forgotten his aerobics music. Thinking quickly, he grabbed whatever tapes he had in his backpack. Beto's tapes were comprised of songs he loved, the traditional Latin salsa and merengue music he listened to all his life. But it was a challenge to improvise a whole class on the spot using non-traditional aerobics music. Beto rose to the challenge and from this last-minute improvisation a revolutionary new concept in fitness was born the Zumba Fitness-Party™! The class soon became the most popular class at his fitness facility.

I Love my job! I love helping people change their lives. Zumba has changed my life and it will change yours.
I was born on June 26th 1980. Born here in Adelaide South Australia. My cultural background is a big mix, Italian, Turkish, English and Chinese.
I started out as a dancer. I studied classical and contemporary dance through my high school. They have a fantastic dance curriculum where I was able to gain experience with choreographing and performing. My final year was in 1997. My brother and I were both passionate about dancing, he later went on to be a dancer with the Australian Ballet Company. A lot of our inspiration came from each other.
From there I continued my dancing career by teaching privately contemporary and Hip Hop, I was also a cheer leader for our Adelaide Rams rugby team during 1998. I also joined a local Youth Dance Company OUTRAGEOUS Dance Company of Adelaide.
I then applied for a Dance Diploma with Tony Barttuchio and was accepted. However, I was unable to continue on as I then found out I was to be a Mum! But that did not stop me.
After my first child I continued dancing and performing. I had a second child and still kept up with my dancing and performing. I still train in Modern Contemporary and Hip Hop dance to keep my technique polished.
Later I met my second husband at a Latino Dance club. That's where my love for Latino dance and culture grew. My husband is from Uruguay South America. He was my best teacher for all the Latin dance styles he taught me the authentic way to dance. We became quite a regular dance couple with our local Latin dance community.
A few years later in 2006 I hit a wall as far as what I wanted to do career wise. During that year My brother passed away from leukemia so I pretty much hit rock bottom. But before long I realized I had to keep moving on and put my energies into something positive. That's when I decided to become a Personal Trainer.
In 2007 I became a qualified Personal Trainer and Instructor. I began working at a Fernwood Womens Health Club working there as a Personal Trainer, Nutrition coach and Group Fitness Instructor. When I started my first Fitness class it was Spin and then a Dance class. The dance class I did a mix of styles and I felt like I was getting the best of both worlds. Then went on to do more freestyle classes. I can honestly say I have never looked back. I love what I do. I love helping people who are so dedicated to what they want to achieve, and I love seeing peoples confidence grow more and more when they achieve their goals. Even in my dance classes my students would come in all shy and self conscious and leave with a smile on their face and that bit more confident that they achieved doing a dance class, and then the best part is when they keep coming back.
Then I discovered ZUMBA FITNESS and I knew I had to do it to pass it on to everyone. So I became a Zumba Instructor. I believe in it so much that I can't stop talking about it to people. I introduced it to my Club and I then decided to do it outside of the club as my own business. As I want EVERYONE, teenagers, guys and girls to experience Zumba. Everyone is getting hooked!
The only way is up from here, and I will continue to make Zumba everyone's passion.
Zumba changed my life completely. It has helped me manage my depression and even drop off anti-depressants. I feel more positive and happy. I have immense energy when I teach because my passion just can't help but burst out and it infects everyone!!
My goal is to get people moving, teach people new things, get them out of their comfort zone,being proactive about their lives and be HAPPY!!!
Even if it is for one hour, that one hour you will not be worrying about anything. That hour is YOUR time to be who you are, dance, get happy and sweaty!!!
I as your Instructor want you to feel as comfortable as possible. I don't care how people look, which way they are going or which hand is where as long as they are having a good time and are smiling. It's all about you the participant. My classes are like a PARTY!!! For all ages and fitness levels, we welcome everyone into our Zumba Land!!
I am very professional and I believe that it is most important to give a High quality standard class, that is why I am constently updating my Zumba Training, which means alot of travelling. I have worked with some of the Top International Zumba Instructors and Australian Instructors, which has given me the chance to learn so much to be an even better instructor, and I continue to learn and grow to give you the BEST QUALITY Zumba class in Adelaide.
Our reputation proceeds us, so contact me today! I hope to be Zumbering with you very soon!
I want to thank my husband for all his support and love and my beautiful children Shinayde and Aiden. My Mum and Dad who are so supportive and are always looking after the kids so that we have this oppotunity to continue to do this.
This site is dedicated to my brother Jes'se Passamani alond with everything I do with Zumba, he is my inspiration and strength.
RIP 29/7/82 to 03/11/2006.
Zumba Love
I was born In Uruguay, South America on the 4th of May 19??
I live in Australia since 1994.
Since I was a kid I have always been involved with music as in Soth America is a big part of our daily life and culture.
I had the pleasure of travel around South America as a teenager and learned a lot of dancing and culture of other countries.
I am an ex Navy Marine,and I am a mechanic by trade.
When I moved to Australia, Adelaide, I started working as a DJ for Adelaide's Latin Community and Clubs. With that I also was teaching Salsa & Merengue for many years.
I am currently studying for Certificate III and IV in Fitness.
Zumba has changed my life.
When I left my mechanic job I started to drive trucks and did it for few years. As a truck driver always in my bottom and eating takeaway.
In October 2009 was weighting 131.5 kilos. and was smoking one pack a day. That was 25 smokes in one day.
When I took my first Zumba classes I could not do one song that I needed to stop to catch my breath.
So in January I became an Instructor. And I haven't looked back.
I have become so much more healthier and happier now that I am teaching Zumba. I have lost over 30 Kilos, I have quit Smoking since December 09 for good and my lifestyle is so much better. From size XXL to L.
I am wanting to pass my experience onto the people that I meet and help to change their life too. And with Zumba it is so easy!!
If I can do it I think everyone can do it.
You only need to put the effort in each class.
Love it feel it then change.
I work hard to give the best quality class in Adelaide which requires alot of extra Zumba Training, which means a lot of Travelling. We are constantly learning and growing to better ourselves as Instructors.
I have worked with some of the Top International Zumba Instructors as well as Top Australian Zumba Instructors, which allows us to learn even more to be able to give back to you the participant.
As your Instructor I like to have fun and make people feel at ease in my classes. I am very professional and believe in giving you the participant a high quality service. I guarantee you will have so much fun you won't even know you are working out.
Our reputation proceeds us and we continue to work hard to deliver our BEST QUALITY Class in Adelaide.

Zzzuummmbbaaaaaa!!!!!!
This picture was taken in March
have lost nearly 20k then
I was born in Australia on the 27th of June 1981. I have lived in Adelaide my whole life and I LOVE it here!!
I have a background in Hospitality. I have been working in the hospitality industry for many many years!!
I have a dance background which stems all the way from childhood, from Ballet to Jazz, Hip Hop etc.
I started participating as a Zumba student with Olivia in March and I was HOOKED straight away!! I loved the positive energy that Zumba brings to people, the music, the moves the atmosphere everything. It is such an awesome workout.
I noticed straight away how much fun it was, I didn't even realize I working that much untill the class finished and I was sweaty like crazy, the time just Fly's!! It honestly is 'Exercise in Disguise'.
My one class a week turn into two classes then quickly turned into five! Then Olivia approached me one class and suggested I become an Instructor, two months later that's exactly what I did!! And here I am now working with Olivia and AJ.
Zumba has changed my life too!! I am happier and healthier and I have drop in dress sizes. I was a 14 ( 3 months ago) and I am now a size 10!!! It really works!!
A word from Olivia:
I noticed Elainer from the second class she attended. What grabbed my attention was not just her constant beaming smile, but her amzing energy! Not only could she dance well but she had an energy that is much sort after with Instructors. I can tell she LOVED doing what she was doing and her moves were so strong. So I offered her to train along side of me and get to know how things work, get experience with being infront of a class and helping me with behind the scenes activities. Elainer was such a hard worker that when the next Instructor Training became available I told her to do it, becauase I wanted her to work with me. And here we are!
Elainer is a good performer too. Not only all that but she is fantastic with people, she is warm and friendly . Elainer connects with the class participants which is so important!
Elainer is so dedicated to Zumba, she has been a great help to us and she is a great asset to our business.
I highly recommend to try one of Elainer's classes, she is so much fun!!!

Zumba Gold is a revolutionary new aerobic dance routine that is for anyone, any ability level and any age. This program is designed for participants with very little experience exercise(Exercise newbies), participants that are physically limited or inactive older adultsThe system was created to be easier than the basic but just as much fun. The moves have been carefully designed to be easy to follow by individuals of any size or age.
You will get a safe and effective total body workout... guaranteed. And still maintaining a party atmosphere that is different, fun, easy to follow along and extremely effective. The music uses dance moves and rhythms from... Cumbia, Salsa, Merengue, Tango, Rumba, Cha-Cha and many other exciting and fun rhythms and dances.
You can do Zumba Gold, event if you have physical limitations!
One of the other routines includes dance moves that you perform on a chair for those individuals who are sedentary or are in a wheelchair. This is a fantastic benefit for those participants who belong to an assisted-living and or short and long-term care facilities.
As the population gets older and people have longer life expectancies the number of Australians over 65 will more than likely double in the next 25 to 30 years. These same individuals realize that if they are going to enjoy their later years being physically fit is a high priority.
When you take a Zumba Gold class be sure to wear comfortable workout clothing, take water and a towel, along with a "ready to party" mood!
Some of the dominant goals and benefits of Zumba Gold include improving the quality of life; maintaining functional skills such as ADLs or activities of daily living; providing classes that are appropriate for the participants; to make sure the routine is easy to learn and follow so that success can be achieved quickly; and also to just have FUN
The instructors for this class are trained to be more aware of any physical changes in their students or if they are suffering any discomfort during the workout.

Hi Olivia & AJ
I thought I would share my Zumba story with you both!
I started going to Zumba classes back in Jan this year. My sister took me along. Initially it was Thurs Nights, & if I had a bit of extra motivation, I would go on my Wednesday off work. Although I really enjoyed the music, & the dance moves, I thought I was the most unco-ordinated person there!. So I hid at the back of the class. I perservered though!
In February my family found out that my Mum was terminally ill, & given only a week to live.We buried her exactly a week later. We were gutted, I quit my job, had no motivation for anything, even my 3 boys! I could feel myself slipping into a dark hole. At this stage I missed a couple of weeks of Zumba, as much as i enjoyed it, I felt I couldnt even get out of bed.
It was then that I made a promise to myself, I would go to Zumba, even if it was an effort getting there,(& getting up!), I loved it once I was there, I enjoyed the people, the music, it was fun, & I always felt better after each class. I knew it was good for me, not only physically, but mentally as well.
I am now attending 3 times a week, religiously. Now I feel guilty & depressed if I dont go!! It motivates, invigorates, inspires, & centres me. I have finally found a form of fitness that is not a drag. I love it, my hips, legs,waist, thighs & bum : ) has never been so toned! I am also back into my size 10 jeans. I no longer hide in the back row now, I am proudly dancing, at the front. But most importantly, I am happier than I have been in a long time, & for that, I thank you.
Jane Rebbeck
(Zumba-holic) : ))

Yourself, AJ and Elanier are the most professional, enjoyable, lovely, friendly, approachable and excellent instructors.
Your passion shines through and although I know I'm buggered at the end of the class I can't help myself but coming back week after week.
I've been attending your class since March and yes in the begining I tried other places but I came back to you and have stayed with you guys ever since.
Thank you for your energy, your smile, your honesty and for just being yourselves.
You have enlightened my life and my fitness level and I can not stop talking about ZUMBA and Zumba with Olivia!
Cheers
Delia

Olivia & AJ
I love Zumba sooooooo much I am addicted. I travel a lot with my job and have attended many interstate classes but nothing compares with you and AJ.
Your classes are fun, energetic, electrifying and did I say FUN.
I run 10km but I sweat more doing an hour of Zumba.
Thank you so much for making exercise sooo much fun and addictive. Cant wait for the introduction of the hand weights.
For anyone thinking Zumba is not for them then you need to try Zumba with Olivia and AJ and you will find a new and fun way to stay fit.
Annette Vermeer
Hi,
I am absolutely loving the Zumba sessions and the way in which you Olivia present the workouts. You are able to make any person feel at ease and enjoy themselves. You are to be congratulated. I have been away the last 2 weeks and unable to attend the Sat. morning sessions AT Ingle Farm and have really missed the workouts and atmosphere. I have a neurological disorder and the sessions have given me the motivation and belief that I can go out and exercise and have a great time. Thanks. (P.S) I am one of the movers and shakers at the back of the room always laughing. Cheers Susie x
Hi Olivia and AJ,
Loved the class last night at Paradise - what a great idea - so good to see so many people enjoying the class together. I was excited to see on your website this morning that you are going to run more classes at this great venue. the biggest plus for me was that no matter where you stand as part of the class, becuase you (the instructor) is on the stage, we can all see clearly what we are supposed to be doing.
After only six sessions, I can already notice how much my fitness has improved. I'm hooked - I only wish I had discovered both you and Zumba months ago. I have been telling everyone I know about how great Zumba is and also how addictive. I no longer do a 'count down' to weekends, but to my next Zumba session.
Thanks guys!
Tina
Hi Oliva
Just wanted to say how much I loved last night. I love doing it in the large group, gives a good buzz!
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks and hope you're feeling better!!
Also I noticed on your website that you're going to be doing the classes there on a Monday night. I definitely would like to pre-book for that if I can :)
There were a few of us talking afterwards last night saying that (if you can and if you want to!) you should get that hall a couple of nights in the week and just run one class at 7:30 or something like that so you don't have to do 2 classes a night and then you can fit everyone in so you dont have to have turramurra and ingle farm going at the same time. Anyway, just food for thought!
Thanks again

Hi Olivia
Just wanted to say that the Paradise event last night was awesome! You have a great presence and I absolutely love the fun environment you create. You make it achievable for all of us, no matter what level of expertise we have. It's very warm and inviting ... and I find myself becoming addicted to Zumba. But I believe it's not just because of the moves and fitness, but because of your approach.
So thank you for being such a great instructor and not making it a 'me and them' approach but it being about all of us having fun together.
Bless ya!
Kirsty
I thought it was about time I dropped you guys a note to say how much Im enjoying your classes (sorry I mean parties). I havent stopped talking about your Zumba sessions to family & friends but think that you deserve to get the compliments first-hand too!
I originally heard about Zumba when I saw an ad on TV for the DVDs. When I did an internet search to find out about the DVDs, I came across your site and saw that you were doing classes near home. Knowing me, I probably would have watched the DVD once so thought Id email you to enrol in a session. You made me so comfortable with that first reply you sent and I havent looked back since!
Having not exercised for a while and never having danced, I was still a little bit nervous coming along the first time but soon realised that everyone was too busy watching their own feet to notice anyone else!
I can see that you truly love your job Olivia good on you! And that enthusiasm is infectious. I love it that neither of you make us feel silly should we miss a step you just give an encouraging smile!
Aside from having lots of fun, I have also noticed that my clothes are just that little bit looser, I dont puff quite so much when I run for the bus and I sleep so much better on the nights Ive been to a session! Its great all round :-)
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you and keep up the great work!
Rondelle.
Last Tuesday was my very first time doing zumba...I came back Wednesday for a second bite!! Fantastic class. Lots of energy and great for weightloss (I perspired heaps). Thank you to both instructors.
Vicki Stojanovski
Hi Olivia and AJ
Your classes just get better and better. You have so much passion for what you do that it flows over and as a participant, you can't help but pick it up. I love coming to your classes and tend to organise my other things around them, so I don't miss out. Thank you for doing what you do so well, and for making it so much fun!
Blessings. :)
