Growing up in dance classes,
Marissa Meneses
liked Jazz & Hip Hop the most!
An affection for upbeat music (and a little inspiration from Mom) eventually led to her discovery of Zumba.
Enjoying the idea of dancing for exercise, Marissa quickly developed a passion for the core rhythms of Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia, & Reggaeton, and she achieved her certification to teach this popular cardio-dance style in 2022.
Marissa engages her creative side to pair easy-to-learn dance moves with fun, international music. Her choreography incorporates the best of Zumba, Line Dancing, and aerobic movements to build a FUN and effective workout that’s suitable for everyone, regardless of fitness level or formal dance training.
Marissa was thrilled to join The Dance Element’s faculty in the fall of 2023.
She has a ball bringing her Cardio Dance Party to our Adult Dance & Fitness schedule each week and promises that joy and energy from this class will send her students home smiling every time.
