About the tutor
Maria Zuykova
I started dance at very early age in Russia. At the age of 19 I signed a contract with the Japanese entertainment company and worked for two years in Tokyo as a Stage Dance Performer. After moving to Singapore I started a Dance and Fitness Instructor career, since then I have amassed over 9 years of experience in teaching a variety of classes in Singapore, Japan and Australia. Several years ago I was recommended to go to some Latin dance classes to learn Salsa dancing and it quickly became a real passion of mine, I took more and more classes and eventually became an instructor after many years of live performances. I moved to Sydney in 2022 and since arriving here I have been teaching SalsationFitness, Zumba Fitness and Latin Dance lessons at Norths Fitness Cammeray. I enjoy teaching Australians as they are very open and have a great sense of musicality. Australian people have a real desire to improve and I find that very rewarding.
