| The DOJO 180 Staff is more like family to me. I am extremely grateful to each of my staff members! Most of the DOJO Staff started out as my salsa or Zumba student. The pride I have for them is very much like a mom has for her children! Each one of them brings their unique energy and talents to their classes. All are caring, professional, passionate people. I encourage you to get to know each of them! | |
