Jannelle Cortes is hands down the best Zumba and dance fitness teacher I have ever taken class with. Her moves and music never disappoint. She has something for everyone, whether you are an absolute beginner or accomplished dancer. Since Jannelle is accomplished in Samba, hip hop, salsa, merengue and many other forms of dance there is never a dull moment in her classes. I loved Jannelle’s classes so much, I would often schedule my work schedule around her classes. She even inspired me to become a Zumba instructor myself.
Jannelle’s bellydance classes significantly impacted my life for the better. She is a patient instructor and gifted choreographer who truly translates music into movement. If you would have told me that I would have gone on to perform at restaurants, on a boat and even on tv I would not have believed you. Jannelle’s classes made this all possible! She is happy to work with dancers of all shapes, sizes, and experience levels. Her bellydance classes are so much fun yet still impart the technique you need to truly appreciate and execute this artform.
The groove fit community is strong and supportive and I can honestly say that the majority of the female friends I have made as an adult were through Jannelle’s classes.

I danced with Jannelle for 10 years and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. From belly dance to zumba to latin dancing, Jannelle brings and energy and focus that cannot be beat. She is great teaching to multiple levels in a class and her choreography is always fantastic! She even choreographed my wedding dances for both my first dance with my husband and my father/daughter dance.
Traveling with Jannelle is a wonderful experience. I was lucky enough to travel with her and Rey to Cuba where we visited Havana and Trinidad de Cuba. The trip was a wonderful mix of tourist highlights and local experiences. I can't say enough good things about my trip there.

I am really excited for Groovefit's new classes! I've danced with Jannelle and Groovefit since 2008 and have traveled to Egypt, Morocco, Jamaica and Cuba with Groovetrips. There's always been dance, music, cultural immersion and even luxury to experience. But most importantly, there will always be a remarkable and heart felt adventure to have. I'm so looking forward to more of that!!

Groovefit is transformative. Jannelle has brought me so much joy with her passion for dance and vibrant classes. I have built confidence, strength, and a community thanks to Jannelle!
Thanks to Jannelle and GrooveTrips, I was able to cross a major (and what I previously thought far-fetched) adventure off my bucket list – bellydancing in Egypt! Her trip was well organized, safe, and fun! Jannelle is an amazing torch that lights up a world of possibilities through her Groove Trips!
