Marcus Tasanasanta - Licensed Zumba® Instructor

Molly Adams

I live for dancing. If I'm not at school, sleeping, or eating, I'm usually at the dance studio. I am typically here six days a week. I started dancing after I moved with my family from Michigan back home to Washington. My dad, an instructor located in Seattle, signed my brother and I up for dance classes the summer we settled in. He told us to stick with it for a year and then we could stop if we wanted to. Now, six years later, you'd have to break my leg to stop me from dancing; even then I might be inclined to dance in the cast! I started with the basics, attending group classes and the occasional dance party, later adding private lessons. Now I'm dancing every day, teaching group classes, private lessons and having a blast at every dance party. Dance isn't just a hobby for me, it is a lifestyle. I'm currently enrolled at WWU and majoring in computer science.

I have learned from Zumba® creator Beto Perez, Tanya Beardsley, Gina Grant, Ali Pellito-Ramirez, Roger Yamat, Jani Roberts, Priscilla Sartori, Fabio Barros, Kyle Redd, Sarah Vann Drake, FJ Abaya, Catherine Abaya, Valentina Weiss-Kostenko, Ron Montez, Diane Jarmolow, Natasha Thayer, Myles Monroe, Tessa Cunningham, Alex Krebs, Tony Fan, Ilana Rubin, Sara Thomsen and others. I love meeting new coaches and taking new classes. Learning is a lifetime goal for me and I never want to stop improving my dancing abilities!
