ROCIO ANTURI
I was born in Colombia, have been a Zumba Fitness instructor since May 2011 and work at Stockholm Salsa Dance.
My source of inspiration is music because it gives me joy. On my workouts you can expect dance joy with a lot of energy. I love to have fun and sweaty workouts and work a lot with different Latin American foundations and musicality.
RODRIGO GARRIDO
I am a trained and certified Zumba and Les Mills Body Jam instructor
and holds classes every week at several different gyms in the Stockholm area.
This has been my main occupation for several years now.
As a person, I am very peppery and enthusiastic,
I really love meeting people and passionate about making people feel good
and discover the power of dance.
Dance is the language of the soul, a pure energy and force that is translated into movement and joy. I love to see that joy in my participants
and it does not matter if you “can” dance or not, it’s just dancing and letting the body speak.
A “good” dancer is “good” because of his passion for music and dance.
Passion is both visible and felt. It’s great to see when the participants let go
and everyone gets in touch via this universal language!
People sometimes ask why I chose to become a dancer, but it was not a choice I made.
Life chose it for me because it is simply me. It is power, feeling and joy. It’s to be yourself! I live my truth, I express my love and I share my enthusiasm!
