“Alegria y gozadera.”

From the day I left Cartagena, my city, to Bogota, I have been a Zumba instructor in the best gyms in town. In 2011, I went to São Paulo, Brazil to get my Zumba certification and became the 1st certified Zumba instructor in Colombia. My next move was to the USA, and here in Miami, a new phase started for me. In 2014, I was part of the Fitness Concert crew during the Zumba convention. Throughout these years, I have enjoyed teaching and connecting with my students through dancing. Whoever joins my classes will experience a release of emotions that feels like a big party.

How do you motivate your students?

I motivate my students through my energy, smile, praise, and happiness, as well as by creating a fun and cheerful atmosphere. My goal is to see them leave my class with a big smile on their faces.

“I’m a funny man.”

With almost 20 years of experience as a dance instructor and a good time working for the most distinguished fitness centers in Bogota, I moved to Florida in late 2012 to join the crew at various clubs in Aventura and Hallandale, and also to be a Zumba Corp Talent. That makes me part of various projects for the company such as worldwide Zumba master classes presenter, Orlando ZIN Convention presenter, a model for Zumba apparel, choreographer for videos, and Zumba Cruise among others.

Nowadays, I’m achieving to be one of the best-recognized instructors in the area with high popularity classes and being part of the health and fitness movement, with no doubt changing anyone’s life. I work in music production, of my own songs for Zumba worldwide as “Jeison El Brother”, my stage name, combining my passion for dancing at the same time. In my class, we will always have fun and enjoy every second as a party!

How do you motivate your students?

With my energy, fun, and passion for what I do.
