Deanna
Deanna Taphorn has been a Zumba instructor since 2005. She got her first taste of Zumba with Tony and Jess’s first Zumba class in the K.C. area! Ever sinceshe’s been hooked! Zumba has helped her keep a strong workout/fitness regimin she says its because the music and melody are always changing and she never gets bored. “There is no monotony to the class and that makes me want to work out.”
Graphics designer by day and zumba instructor by night…Dea has had little to no professional dance training, but it doesn’t matter, she packs them in for a fun class. Her class is great for working individuals to get any stress or anxiety out of their systems. She is a very energetic instructor and people of all levels and backgrounds enjoy attending her class. Anyone can do it!! Deanna is so approachable and makes people feel very comfortable in her class. She enjoys getting to know everyone who attends and has met some wonderful friends throughout the years. She helps to create that zumba family atmosphere. “Zumba to me is a second family. Everyone is having fun and is interested in the person next to them. I love the fact that before class we talk about how are days went and what is new in our lives. In all the other classes that I’ve ever taken at different gyms it’s the only class where people become friends outside of the workout”
