Jessika Saunders, Zumba and Zumba Toning Instructor

Jessika Saunders

Jessika is a Zumba and Zumba Toning instructor who teaches six classes a week exclusively on Zoom. She believes that everyone should be able to come together, no matter where they live. Jessika has training in many dance styles, including Bellydance, Hip-Hop, Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, and Ballroom. Jessika studied dance in college, took classes in Washington D.C., and even danced with a performing dance crew in Japan for 3 years.

During the pandemic, Jessika started teaching Zumba in 2021 to hold herself accountable for losing over 50 lbs of baby weight. It worked, and now she seeks to be a resource for others who want to dance their fitness journeys in a judgment-free zone with a fantastic community.

Dancing in Japan made Jessika realize how much of a universal language dance and music are. Jessika could bond with her Japanese friends, even before she could converse with them in words, because of dance and music. Jessika believes that dance and music can strengthen the bonds between cultures and unify people, even during times of division.

Come enjoy her eclectic music choices and fun dance styles as you dance your fitness journeys!
