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!

Meet our radiant Lead Instructor, Eva Van Derdys a passionate educator by day and an electrifying Zumba queen by night!
