Meet Our Team

---

I am a small business owner, a proud veteran, and actively serving in the military. Discipline and resilience fuel my journey. Growing up on the streets of Brooklyn, NY, I was immersed in music and dance from an early age—watching my father run a nightclub and having thrilling dance-offs with my siblings and mother. It was clear that my love for music and movement would only grow, and it did! Since May 2011, I have been a proud member of ZIN™, and teaching Zumba has been one of my greatest joys. It allows me to connect with people from all walks of life, empowering them to become the best versions of themselves. The fusion of music and dance is pure ecstasy, and spreading that love within my community is an energizing passion that never fades.

As a dedicated fitness professional, I hold certifications in Zumba, Zumba Toning, Aqua Zumba, Zumba Step, HIIT, Kids Fitness, Vinyasa Yoga, and Bungee Fitness. Fitness is more than just movement for me—it’s a lifestyle, a mission, and a way to uplift others. I believe in the power of continuous growth; learning never stops, and expanding my knowledge allows me to reach and inspire a diverse community. Let's move, grow, and thrive together!

Born and raised in Passaic, New Jersey, I have been passionate about sports and fitness my entire life. From playing football to coaching youth baseball teams, I’ve always believed in the power of movement to build confidence, discipline, and teamwork. My love for the game didn’t stop there—I went on to organize and run adult softball and baseball leagues, as well as coach adult teams, keeping the spirit of competition and camaraderie alive.

As a certified Zumba Fitness instructor, I’ve taken my passion for movement to the next level. Music and dance have always been in my blood, deeply rooted in my Puerto Rican heritage. I have a deep love for old-school salsa, plena, and the rhythms that bring our culture to life. Dance isn’t just a workout—it’s an expression, a celebration, and a way to bring people together. Staying active has been my lifelong mission, and I strive to inspire others to do the same. Whether coaching on the field or leading a high-energy Zumba class, I believe in creating an environment where people of all ages can move, thrive, and enjoy the journey. Let’s keep the energy high and the rhythm alive!

I'm Eva Van Derdys, a passionate teacher by day and a vibrant Zumba dancer by night! Hailing from Puerto Rico, where music pulses through our veins, I was raised on the infectious rhythms of Spanish rock, salsa, merengue, and later, reggaeton. With a background in art and fashion, I discovered my true calling in teaching at the age of 32.

Thanks to my love for dancing, my teaching profession, and the unwavering support of Carmen Rolon, I've been able to realize my dream of becoming a Zumba Instructor. Zumba has infused my life with boundless happiness, positivity, and self-assurance, which I strive to share with my students in every class.

For me, Zumba isn't just a workout – it's a party! So come join the fun, let loose, and dance your heart out with us. Let's make every session an unforgettable celebration together!

Hi, I'm Gigi! Fitness is not just a passion for me; it's a way of life. I’m a certified and licensed Zumba Fitness instructor, and I absolutely love sharing the joy and energy that dance brings to people’s lives. Proudly Cuban-Nicaraguan American, I embrace my heritage and bring that vibrant cultural energy to every class I teach. 

In a world full of routines and schedules, Zumba offers me the perfect escape, and I want to share that freedom with you! It’s not just about working out—it’s about having fun, embracing the music, and celebrating your body’s strength and movement. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or a beginner, Zumba allows you to feel empowered and energized.

So, come join me! Let's transform fitness into a fun, uplifting experience where we dance, laugh, and get stronger together!
