Amaya’s love for working out and getting into shape began at my home dance studio. She has been a student, assistant teacher for the toddler classes, and a substitute dance teacher. She learned from assistant teaching that she enjoys teaching others how to stay in shape through dance. At UREC, she plan to carry on that same passion into my job as a certified Group Fitness Instructor.
