Empower Fitnezz with Dorothy

Home of Stomp & Shine Line Dancing 💃 Certified instructor for SHINE Dance Fitness & Country Fusion Line Dancing (since 2021). My name is Dorothy, and I would like to share a little bit about myself. I am a Wife and Mother of 2 beautiful daughters and a Grandmother to 5 energetic little boys! I first developed a passion for Yoga and other fitness programs at the age of 22. Before becoming a PiYo instructor at the age of 33, I found out that I had juvenile diabetes. This changed my whole perspective on health and fitness, and that’s when I started getting serious about diet and exercise. I began to work out 3-4 times a week and found that this change improved my life greatly. That is when I decided to become an instructor; to encourage and help people make positive changes in their lives as well. PiYo is described as Yoga and Pilates mixed. I have been a PiYo instructor since 2014 and I started teaching at the Southside Health and Wellness Fitness Center. I continue to have a great passion for helping others take care of their minds and bodies. I love to see young and old come together, work hard in class, and leave with a smile on their faces and feeling better about themselves. Outside of PiYo, I also fell in love with Country Fusion! I was 23 when I was introduced to Line Dancing, and have been hooked on it ever since! I was introduced to Country Fusion in 2021 and learned that you can turn Country Line Dancing into a workout that not only makes you sweat and build muscle, but also allows you to have fun while doing it! This full-body workout makes you feel better about yourself, and it is also good for the mind and possibly even helps with Alzheimer’s Disease! My Dad had Alzheimer’s and as I watched him change, it gave me the desire to help others with it as well. That experience was a big part of my decision to become a country fusion instructor, to help those like my Dad have an active mind. I also give God all the thanks and Glory for putting this on my heart so I can live my passion and help others by being an instructor! I look forward to working with you and joining you on this journey! ♥️

Remember: What you put into it, is what you get out of it!
