“Come find the fusion of dance and fitness with Queen City DanceOut…I can’t wait to shake it with you and the rest of our QCDO family!”

My name is Gina Acosta and I am originally from the Queen City. My passion for dance began when I started taking ballet, tap and jazz at the age of 10. I studied ballet at DancePlace, the official school of North Carolina Dance Theater, and also studied ballet, jazz and ballroom dancing at UNC Charlotte where I earned my BA in Latin American Studies and Spanish.

My love for the latin rhythm started when I met my husband, a native Ecuadorian. After just one salsa lesson I was hooked on the latin beat forever! Soon after, I stumbled upon my first Zumba class. I immediately became addicted and got certified just a few months later.

Angie introduced me to her wonderful QCDO family and – after just one class – I knew I had to join in the fun. I have been teaching Zumba for three years and love every red hot minute of it! Read more about Gina in her Q & A.
