Zumba with Val and K

Hi! We’re K and Valentina — and we can’t wait to dance with you!We’re two passionate Zumba instructors with different roots but one shared love: bringing people together through movement, music, and joy.K is originally from Japan and brings a beautiful sense of discipline, energy, and musicality to every class. With a background in Latin dance, K has received formal training in Salsa and Bachata and has performed as part of the prestigious LDA (Latin Dance Australia) performance team. That strong foundation in dance brings an extra flair and authenticity to every routine — with precision, rhythm, and passion all rolled into one.I’m Valentina, born in Latin America where music and dance are part of everyday life. I discovered Zumba during a tough moment in my life and instantly connected with the freedom, joy, and sense of release it gave me. That one class changed everything for me, and I’ve been teaching ever since. My classes are filled with warmth, energy, and an open invitation for everyone to just be themselves and have fun.We love teaching because it gives us a chance to empower others. Whether you're a first-timer or a long-time dancer, we believe movement is for everyone — no judgment, just great vibes.Zumba is more than a workout. It’s community, culture, confidence, and connection. And we’re proud to have taught hundreds of students across Sydney, creating safe and joyful spaces for people of all ages and backgrounds to get active and feel good.We currently run our weekly Zumba classes at Marrickville Public School, where we’ve been teaching every Monday night since November 2023. It’s become a vibrant little community full of music, laughter, and movement — and we’re always ready to welcome new faces.Our certifications include:Zumba InstructorZumba KidsZumba GoldWe’re always learning and growing in the Zumba world — we’ve participated in the local Latin American Markets in Marrickville, performed at the Fitness Expo at Darling Harbour, and even attended the world-renowned Zumba Convention in Orlando, Florida, where instructors from around the globe gather to learn, share, and dance.Come join us and experience Zumba the way it’s meant to be: full of life, laughter, and Latin rhythms.
