I am a Zumba enthusiast and well as a Zumba instructor. Over the last 5 years I have taken classes with most of the teachers in San Francisco and I can say with out a doubt Miriam is one of the very best in the city! She is something special. Her Salsa and Bachata are so good! (but so is everything else) She has a very easy teaching style. I see her effortlessly take students from a very simple step to something complex and wonderful in just a few minutes. Everyone leaves the class on a wonderful high. I can not recommend her enough. If you have a chance take her class, you will not be disappointed. San Francisco is lucky to have her in our Zumba community!
