Carmen has been teaching Group Exercises and Dance Classes for over 15 years. After receiving her B.S. Degree in Kinesiology with Emphasis on Athletic Training, she advanced her career in Personal Training. It’s the perfect career path for someone who LOVES body movement.
Her love for movement has led her to study different dance disciplines such as: Tahitian, Hula, Afro-Brazilian, Afro-Haitian, Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, and her current love … SAMBA! With Samba, she has competed and won the title as “Queen of Carnaval” for San Francisco in 2010 and for Santa Barbara in 2013.
Since then she has been teaching classes at different studios, schools, and private companies.
