Born in Vietnam, she grew up in Largo. She trained in Ballet and Jazz as a teen and went on to perform
in shows and television for Telemundo in Miami. Certified in Zumba Gold, Zumba Basic, and Zumba Advanced, she has a
strong passion for dancing and that's why she loves teaching Zumba! Angelique's classes are
composed of all kinds of music such at latin, old school, arabic, hawaiian, techno, hip hop, etc, putting alot of emphasis
on the torso, really working your hips and waist. She also teaches a slower paced lower impact class called Zumba Gold with
music by Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Bobby Darin, etc for those wanting to sway to the music but keep your hips in joint too!!!!
"Dancing keeps you young and healthy. I'm a mother of 5, my last child born in 2007, and I taught up until
my 8th month. I especially love when my students tell me that their cholestorol, high blood pressure, and blood sugar are
lower since taking Zumba. Your clothes fitting looser is just icing on the cake". |
