Meet Deb
Hi!!! My name is Deb Blouin and I LOVE to
dance! I am a certified Zumba Instructor and member of ZIN. I earned
my certification in Zumba Basic in February 2009, and I’ve also been
taking dance classes at the University of Alaska, Anchorage, where I
am earning my bachelor's degree in English and a minor in Dance. I am
almost done with school and hitting the ground dancing this summer and
fall.
I have danced off and on since high school. I was a core member of
East High’s Contempo Dance Company in its earliest years and following
graduation I taught aerobics in Federal Way, WA. As time passed, I
kind of let things go; I danced more off than on UNTIL I discovered
Zumba in September of 2009.By January of 2010 I had lost 40 pounds or
more and I just couldn't argue with the results or the out-and-out
FUN!
Getting fit without having to "work out"! Now THAT'S what I call good
exercise! I look at Zumba as a dance class with a fitness goal. I try
to encourage everyone to keep focus on control of major muscles and
keep a strong core. Zumba's music and movement inspire our inner
dancer to come out and play! I love keeping up with the latest tunes
and techniques, but I also keep the tried-and-trues in my Zumba
repertoire, too. I love coming up with new choreography of my own, to
shake things up and keep it fresh. I am looking forward to continuing
my Zumba education by adding Zumba Basic 2, Zumbatomics (for the 8-12
set) and Zumba Gold for movement-restricted and senior dancers!
