Tara: I have grown up in a family where dance and music were a strong part of our upbringing, although I never gave much thought or attention to either!
I was dragged to a Kizomba class 7 years ago and I immediately fell in love with it! I understood the music and felt a buzz after each dance. Kizomba opened up my world to other types of dancing where I have met the most amazing people and friends for life.
I have assisted Sara with her Kizomba classes for a number of years, and I am very excited about teaching again! My love for Kizomba has now grown beyond dancing and onto DJing.
I am an Engineer by day so I may not be able to dance every night or DJ every week, but when I do get the opportunity; I grab it hard and do it with my heart and soul!
Here’s some random trivia about me- I played the saxophone growing up and I am absolutely in love with pens!!
