Bring FUN to your occasion- with a Zumba Fitness dance party!
Zumba is a fun, energetic, dance fitness party. It is a great addition to any birthday party, corporate event, or fitness themed weekend. From 5 years old- to 105, there is a Zumba party that can be customized for you.
I also give talks - past topics include "Fitness Habits for Exercise haters" and "Building Strength at any age" . I am always adding new material to deliver to audiences.
We were so happy with Monica, she was professional, kept a bunch of 9 year old's engaged and energized throughout the party event with Zumba moves and interactive games. We loved her and would highly recommend her for any event.
Response from Dance with Monica:
Thank you for your review! It was so much fun to lead the group. I loved their creativity in our group play, and their generosity towards each other in the competitive games. I think I had more fun than they did! Monica

Expect that we may speak via phone, or communicate via email- or jump on a zoom call to make sure we are set up for success.
I always arrive 30 minutes early to an event, unless more time is needed. I bring my own equipment, unless other arrangements are made. I have all participants sign a waiver release, unless we have arranged to do this earlier.
I wear a microphone and face the audience during the session. I monitor the audience levels of fitness ability and modify tempo on the spot if necessary. Safety is number one.
A typical class has a warm up, body, cool down, and stretch. I always allow time afterwards to enjoy speaking with the participants.
Hi! I'm Monica Bengtson
What I teach to groups of all kinds: Zumba Gold, Zumba Gold Seated, Zumba Gold Toning(I provide equipment)
Other services: Public Speaking, Conditioning (stretch) classes, and Line Dancing
I have a nice speaker system with headset, so that everyone can hear me clearly. I bring all of my music on my phone, and bring back up for any emergency. Wood floors are a plus! But we can dance anywhere, as long as it is safe, low grade carpet is fine too.

I am influenced by all genres of music- and I am known to have a very diverse playlist.
Every year I attend Zumba Convention in Orlando Florida to keep my education strong. There is always something new to learn. And I always take new class rhythms.
My classes often have African, Cuban, Bollywood, Latin Flavors, Tango and Bachata, even a little Country, and I enjoy sneaking in some 80's and 90's music. We dance through the decades.
As mentioned I bring my own sound system, but here I would like to mention that participants should be ready for a fitness class. Dance or fitness sneakers, comfortable clothes, and water should be available.
