History

Established in 2010.

Marissabel Alvarez Mayol became a licensed ZUMBA Instructor in June of 2010. While in law school in Florida, she was tired of carrying around an extra 60 pounds that seemed to appear out of nowhere. Bored with treadmills and elliptical machines, she tried a Zumba class at a nearby gym and slowly began to dance those pounds off. After realizing that Zumba classes was not only the reason for her weight loss, but was also her reason for enjoying life and having more fun than ever before, she knew she wanted to teach ZUMBA to give others the chance to feel as good as she did. She brought ZUMBA to the Village of Ridgefield Park in October of 2010 and has been teaching ever since. Marissabel is currently licensed in ZUMBA® Basic Level 1, ZUMBA® Basic Level 2, ZUMBA® Toning and Kids®. She is also a member of ZIN (ZUMBA® Instructor Network). She approaches each Zumba class with such a passion and love for Zumba that it radiates out of her in each and every Zumba dance classes that she teaches.
