Zumba with Chelsey Villamin-Villiger

If I could give Chelsey’s class 10 stars I would. I have attended her class for close to 5 years now and my whole family as well as many friends attend her class with her. I have tried other class on island and off and its no comparison.
Chelsey is upbeat and her moves, mixes, and energy is modern. However you’ll find students of all ages here, teens to grandparents.
Her moves however aren’t difficult, she’s so encouraging and movement itself is the main key that she stresses. I promise you though, if you aren’t here to sweat you’re in the wrong place, you are getting an ultimate workout.
Chelsey takes a genuine interest in her students and cares about their comfort in class, their fitness goals and achievements, but also that they’re just having fun and feeling beautiful in their own skin.
She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. I have made so many wonderful connections and friends within this class and with Chelsey herself.
Mondays: Kaimuki High 6:15, Weds: Kaimuki Middle 5:30

Chelsey is, hands down, the best zumba instructor in Hawaii. I can say this because after trying countless zumba classes, Chelsey blew. me. away. I do not even consider attending other classes because if I have to do the basic salsa step for another hour straight, I may just shed a few tears.
There are numerous differences between Chelsey and other zumba teachers. First of all Chelsey has an incredible amount of enthusiasm-​she is always totally stoked to teach her class and has an endless amount of energy.
Chelsey is a former dancer. There’s a difference between dancers and those who like to dance. It’s evident in her choreography and the way she hits her moves. Her steps are always unique and creative between each dance.
Third, she has the biggest heart. She is so grateful to her Zumba family and this shows when she makes connections and forms friendships with those who come to her class. She is extremely welcoming and friendly. When I first started going, I thought, «Everyone here knows each other. I totally don’t belong here.» But everyone is super nice and Chelsey makes an effort to get to know you. She spends the time before each class chatting with folks and hugs everyone on the way out.
She mixes latin songs with popular songs you know and sing along to with the radio in the car. But you end up singing along to those songs you previously didn’t know. She has a ton of routines and changes it up all the time so it’s never boring.
She has color themes. If you friend her on FB she’ll post the color she’s wearing to class that day and people can match her if they want-​it makes the class even more fun!
But, the big thing for me is Chelsey’s class is a serious workout. It is hard for me to work up a sweat-​check that-​break a sweat in most other zumba classes, but Chelsey’s class is on a whole ‘nother level. Don’t be worried for you beginners out there-​there are grandmas and middle school girls who come and everyone dances at their own comfort level. You do what works for you. No one passes judgement.
If you spend any time and effort attending a Zumba class, this is the one to attend. We’ll see you on Mondays at Kaimuki HIGH school café at 6:15 and Wednesdays from 5:30 — 6:30 at Kaimuki MIDDLE School cafeteria. Drive towards the pumped up music.
