About Zumba with Heather
Hi everyone! I've been a ballroom/Latin dancer since 1988 and was a dancesport competitor for about 5 years. Later on we offered dance shows for charity. I found Zumba Fitness by accident while surfing the 'net for information for my ballroom dance website and my two ezines, "Dancing on Air" and "On A Whim". I listened to the infectious Latin music and was instantly intrigued. I found a class not far from where I live and joined up, and was 'hooked'! in May 2008 I completed by Zumba Instructor training and received my certificate to teach Zumba Fitness. Please check out my classes! What's really great is that my first time teaching Zumba (September 2008) coincides with my 20th year anniversary of dancing (September 1988) ! WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!
Here's a little write-up that a local paper did:
As a ballroom/Latin dance competitor, Heather Diodati always had a passion for Latin music and dancing. Diodati and her ex-husband competed in Canadian and U.S. competitions for a number of years and ended their dance careers by offering free dance shows for local events. It was when Heather remarried and took dance lessons with her new husband that she further developed her passion for Latin dancing. Then, unfortunately, her new husband developed arthritis in his fingers and had difficulty turning her. Diodati tried to convince herself that she would not miss dancing but all the while it played on her mind especially when she would hear an exciting new song on the radio that could be used for a cha cha or a swing.
While researching online for items of interest to include in her ballroom dancing blog and ezine, Heather discovered the Zumba website and clicked on it. Immediately, exciting Latin tunes began playing as the site loaded and she was captivated. Delving more into the Zumba style of fitness she discovered that there was a class nearby and registered for the next class as soon as she could get into her car. The teacher, the music and the dancing was amazing and prompted Heather to register for her Zumba Fitness Certification, which took place in Ottawa. Heather’s husband always offers his wonderful support and brings some excellent ideas to the fitness class as well as his 'filming' expertise. Who knows – Heather may eventually convince him to join in on a class!
