Tabitha Zehms

Tabitha became a student of dance as an adult, but has been passionate about music and movement since childhood. She got her black belt in Tae Kwon Do at 9 years old and played viola in orchestras and string quartets for 12 years. She also was a cheerleader and performed in the show choir in high school. Tabitha found Zumba class as an adult and fell in love with its message of dance-for-all and community. She has been a Zumba instructor for the last nine years, teaching Zumba and Cardio Hip Hop in Champaign, IL, Los Angeles, CA, and in Boston, MA before moving back home to Green Bay. Hip hop is her favorite style, but she also loves learning ballet, West African, and Hula. Tabitha has also performed with the Ataraxia Dance Theatre Company. When not dancing, Tabitha works as a computer programmer, and spends her free time reading fantasy and science fiction novels, hiking in the woods, baking, and playing with her husband and two sons.
