Background[]

During the summer of 2009, Ana Ferris began taking Zumba fitness classes at Scantic Valley YMCA in Wilbraham, MA and soon afterward was asked if she wanted to become licensed and teach. That Saturday morning changed her life. Immediately Ana booked a Zumba instructor training course with Tanya Beardsley, a renowned Zumba Education Specialist. Ana started teaching her own Zumba® fitness classes and now teaches 7 days a week while maintaining a full time job as a Financial Services Professional. To better serve her Zumba fitness clients, she decided to open her own dance fitness studio, Baila Conmigo Dance Studio in West New York, New Jersey after teaching for over 3 years. Ana is married to an avid golfer and has 2 daughters who love to dance competitively.
