Marquita Smith is licensed in Zumba® Basic 1, Zumba® Toning, Zumba Sentao®, Zumba Gold® and Mixxedfit.
Marquita resides in Kingsland, GA and has been teaching for 12 years. She was given her first opportunity to teach by her mentor Jocelyn Melchor at Fiesta Fitness in 2011 and is currently teaching Zumba and Mixxedfit at Anytime Fitness.
Marquita started teaching to inspire women like her, who were afraid to go into gyms because of how they looked. Zumba changed her life in ways that could never be explained. She fell in love with Zumba because it is for everyone no matter your size or age. Through Zumba Fitness she was able to lose over 100lbs and continues to encourage those in her community. One of the best moments in her fitness journey was getting the opportunity to dance with ZES Ricardo Marmitte at the Zumba Convention in 2016, 2017, and 2018 as part of his team from African Workout. This allowed her to share her love for dance with others from all around the world.
Her Motto is Find your Freedom in the Music and never dim your light for anyone!!
