I’ve always loved to dance. I began my dance training at age eight at the prestigious Harkness Ballet School in New York City and have been dancing ever since. I am currently a company dancer for Compañía Flamenca Rina Orellaña, a Los Angeles based flamenco dance company. I also perform locally with my own Spanish and Latin dance troupe, Salsa Flamenca.

"I just moved into the area and was hoping to find a fitness class that worked with my schedule and that was something I could enjoy. My friend took me to Vicky's class and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to particpate. My friend has been doing zumba for years but I had not even heard of it before.
So far, I love it!
I love the way the teacher uses a variety of upbeat music - from salsa to flamenco to hip-hop. She cleverly merges the songs together and choreographs routines that are easy to follow but make me feel great.
Everyone at the class was open and welcoming and that was helpful as I just moved here two months ago.
I feel like Vicky has been giving me a bit of extra special attention helping me with my posture, form, and helping coordinate my two left feet. I really appreciate it - thanks!
I am looking forward to many more classes in the near future." -

"Victoria is an Excellent Zumba Instructor! Her classes are always high energy, motivating,
and ever changing. She is always coming up with new choreography and uses a wide variety of music . . . So you never get bored! She truly makes exercise "FUN!"
I am leaving town for a few months and I will really miss my twice a week "Zumba with Victoria" . . . but, I will definitely be back!!!" -

"My first experience with zumba was with Victoria. I am now so addicted!!! I started going once a week and now find myself having to go 3x/week. Not only is it great cardio exercise, but it is just too much fun! It's fulfilling my love of dance, the need to be more healthy, and feeling so much better about myself - physically and mentally. Victoria's classes have also helped with my back problems! I can't say enough great things about Victoria!"

"I started taking Zumba classes with Victoria in January with a friend, and I fell in love with Victoria's highly-motivation Zumba class! Victoria continually mixes familiar zumba and salsa standards with early Motown (e.g. Aretha Franklin's RESPECT) and even show tunes (e.g. Greased Lightning from Grease). I have tried a few different places, but Victoria is absolutely the best, simply the best!"

"I started taking Zumba classes with Victoria in April and I love the class! She is a high energy, fantastic instructor and the class is so much fun. I thought I would just take class once a week but now I am doing it 2 times a week because it is so much fun and such a good workout. I have tried a few different places, but Victoria is "home" and this is where I will stay! : - ) Victoria Rocks!"

"Vicky's class is so much fun! She encourages you to go at your own pace, which can be anywhere from walking around (as long as you're moving) up to shaking and shimmying all your goodies! Her smile and enthusiasm are contagious! Her classes are very affordable too. Zumba music and moves are like being at a party! Thanks to Vicky for making exercise FUN!!!!"

If you're thinking about attending her class, just come and check it out! You will have so much fun! I've only attended two classes, but I can see that is really paying off!! I can get into my size 9 Jeans all over again!! What more can I say, except that Victoria is a "Fitness Diva"! She really rocks!!" -

"They say you will do more if you enjoy the exercise you do... I never knew there was an exercise I would enjoy!!! Lol I am so excited for each class and everyone says the same thing! Although, there are those times that I think Victoria is tuffer than Jillian on Biggest Loser, (Lol) she at least does it with a smile and a nice voice. The thing is, I don't WANT to stop, it's that much fun! I have lost 5 pounds the last three weeks only going twice a week!! Thanks Vicky for creating a comfortable environment that I not only have a blast, but that I feel encouraged about weight loss for the first time!! You are the best!!!!"

"I have lost 11 pounds so far and feel much better. I used to feel tired going up the stairs but I'm back to feeling like the younger me. Vicky's classes are so much fun. I've learned a lot of the dances and I didn't think I could dance before. I love going to her class. It's the first time in a long time I've stuck to working out. It's because it's fun for me!"
