"I love teaching Zumba® because every class feels like a party!  You don't even have to know how to dance.  Just move your body! Come join me and see what the Zumba® phenomenon is all about." ~Renee Gworek

Renee Gworek, Certified Zumba Instructor

Exercise and movement have always been a part of Renee's life.   She began taking dance lessons at a very young age and was teaching by age 14.  Renee taught Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Pointe and Acro at Kathy's Dance Studio for over 20 years.  During that time she received her Bachelor's degree from Elms College in Art Education.   

Renee taught Dance and Art to high school students at West Springfield High School until 2007 when she decided to stay home with her children.  Renee tried her first Zumba class in 2009 as a way to get back into shape after having twins and has been doing so ever since!  She became a certified Zumba instructor in 2011 and has been a Zin member since 2012.  

Besides being a stay at home mom to four and a Zumba instructor, Renee is also an Independent Consultant for Arbonne International; an online health and wellness company.  Renee resides in Holyoke with her husband Jeff and their children, Kelsey, Patrick, Cal and Keighley (and black lab Gilligan).
