About Us
Kate Barash-Engel
I'm so excited to be a part of the Perkins Fitness team. This facility embodies what Zumba is all about...community, fun and support. I teach Zumba in a style that is easy to learn, high intensity cardio (but you can really make it any level you want!) to latin and hip-hop style music. My classes are great for beginners, all the way to experts. I have been a dancer my whole life and love Zumba because it gives people a chance to move their bodies in ways that our society is not used to moving. I am trained in many forms, but have focused most of my time on West African and hip-hop dance. I've performed in many companies (so yes, there are a few Broadway show tunes I like to pull out!) and have danced in different parts of the world. Zumba is a way for me to share my passion with you...I love to laugh, smile, fall down and get back up again. I was Zumba certified in June of 2011 and plan on continuing on this journey as long as you'll have me!
