Hi There, I'm Danielle Germaine
Growing up I took many dance classes and found it to be a great stress reliever and fulfilling hobby. However, as I transitioned into adulthood, other things took priority as I went to college eventually earning my Masters in Counseling to become a licensed therapist. Over time, dance and fitness became a smaller part of my life until it was non-existent. The pandemic was a huge turning point for me, I knew I had to make some big changes but was terrified of the next steps. I started with fitness classes at Kick It Out as a student and everything changed for me, my fear and anxiety regarding fitness slowly melted away and I became immersed in a world of dance, movement and fitness and never looked back.
After years of being a student, I felt empowered to become a certified Zumba Instructor and did so in March 2023. I feel working out needs to be enjoyable to be effective which makes Zumba so ideal, every class feels like a party! As a therapist by day, I also feel working out needs to be about embracing your body and self, enjoying the movements and letting go of stress and expectations.
These are all aspects and more I hope to incorporate into my class to have you leaving with a sense of accomplishment along with some sweat and a smile if nothing else.
Outside of Zumba, I enjoy spending time with my dog Lola, reading, gardening, painting, crafting and spending time with my friends and family. I look forward to dancing with you!
