What People Say
Zumba with Petra…so much fun. I get a good workout and honestly look forward to the next time I’m there. Petra is a wonderful instructor; the environment is very positive and high energy. I encourage any one who wants a fun workout to go to Studio Danza and try Zumba with Petra!!

I learned something about myself in the last year… I LOVE Zumba!! I never would’ve guessed it Some mutual friends happened upon Studio Danza one day, and made it a point to try Petra’s Zumba class. Well, shortly after they tried it, they recruited me, and the rest is history – I’m a 3 times a week devotee. I’ve never liked group aerobics or dance classes because I’m not coordinated, and too self-conscious. The class members made me feel welcome immediately. I was so self-conscious, and I remember I apologized to Petra after class in case my improvised moves messed her up. She laughed and said «Oh no! We’re just dancing – it’s fun!!» And she meant it!! If you want to break the ice and try Zumba – come to Studio Danza!!

My mom has been coming here for a few years now for Zumba. She started going a couple times a week and now she practically lives at this studio. She herself doesn’t use Yelp so I thought Id do the review for her. The staff from what I’ve encountered are warm and welcoming. So you don’t feel intimidated as a newbie here.
