Zumba at THE STUDIO is featured in this article!

“Californians are enthusiastic about getting fit, and that’s a good thing. From dietary regimens to gym memberships, many health-conscious adults constantly seek new ways to get fit, keep active and live longer. Take the ’80s fad of aerobics… how can we forget Jane Fonda’s moves?”

“On the first week she visited The Studio, Carol Cooper sat outside in her car, peering into the open space as a group of women practiced tae kwon do.

The second week, she walked through the front doors but stayed near the entrance, sitting on a chair to observe the class. Finally, on the third week, instructor Amitis Pourarian suggested she join along.

“I never looked back,” Cooper says.”
