WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT IN A ZUMBA® CLASS?
Armando has it, ready for you to feel like you’re really dancing, successfully, and beautifully, and powerfully!
There are, indeed, many many wonderful Zumba® teachers out there; each with their own unique skills and talents. Armando offers fresh and innovative choreography in a wide variety of styles: Merengue, Cumbia, Bachata, Reggaeton, Flamenco, Bollywood, Hip-Hop, and others. Each style comes with its own internal movement nuance, and slightly different flavor - and so you will really feel like you are learning a dance style and not just jumping up and down. Highly trained dancers love his class for this purpose, as they can focus on the nuance of his fingers, shoulders, and neck movement that varies from style to style. Or, if you’re new, you can just work on the foot work! Armando is excellent at cueing - meaning that he lets you know a couple of counts ahead of time, which way the next move is going to go - so you will never have that horrible experience of being completely lost while everyone around you is going in a different way because they don’t know either. You’ll build your confidence quickly as you acclimate to his unique style and specificity. You will finish with an immense sense of accomplishment that you really nailed this or that particular combo!
Armando routinely changes his combos, adding a new one or two each week, and recycling favorites or requests through with each class, and making sure that each combo has had a chance to sink in on a deep level with continuing students.
