Cris Williams
Zumba Instructor
(701) 839-3139
Bio
I was introduced to Zumba and quickly became a regular. Inspired to teach, I received Zumba certification in September 2010 and have been teaching ever since then. I strongly believe in the power of music to transform both mind and body and that dancing is a way to relieve stress and enrich the spirit. My goal is to provide a class that maintains high physical requirements with flexibility for each individual, allowing for modifications as needed. Expect a mix of Latino rhythms with high-energy cardio routines in my class. If you are looking to burn calories, get your heart pumping, define some muscle, and of course have fun, Zumba is the class for you!
