Joan is a trained dancer and has taught tap dance and jazz for over 30 years in the Bay Area. I have been a cardio dance teacher (original choreography) and Zumba instructor since 2012. She joined the team at The Club at Los Gatos in 2012. Her fitness certifications include AFFA, AED/CPR, Zumba, and Les Mills Sh’Bam.

She has a degree in Sociology from the University of California at Santa Cruz. She worked for many years at HP Cupertino in accounting and as an administrative assistant in a large R&D lab while completing my degree.

Her passion is teaching the technique of dance and stretching and making both easy for students, no matter their level.
