Elizabeth Streit is a certified instructor in Zumba Basic & Zumba Basic 2, Zumba Toning and Zumbatomic for kids 4 – 12 years. She was born and raised in Mexico, but has been living in the United States for the last 14 years. She says, “Discovering ZUMBA two years ago was the perfect exercise fit for me. Growing up in Mexico, my home was filled with colorful Latin rhythms. I tell everyone, ‘dance is an opportunity to forget about your worries and get connected with yourself through music”. Her passion for helping others along their own personal fitness journey derives from her experience of overcoming a lifetime of being overweight since childhood. Five years ago she lost all the extra pounds with healthy eating and Zumba in combination with a mix of other workout routines including Body Combat (cardio kickboxing), spinning, total body conditioning and yoga. She enjoys teaching kids and adults and says, “kids love to see their parents dance, and invites everyone to join the party!” As a mother, she is inspired by her three young boys and values the importance of setting an example, staying active as a family, and have fun while doing it. Elizabeth also teaches at the Rocky Run YMCA, The Center on Central and Lerooux School of Arts and is available for group and private lessons, parties, corporate events and performances.
