Tanya is proud to be a part of our on-site family as a Zumba instructor for both kids and adults.

Tanya M. Robinson found her passion for dance when she was stationed at Luke AFB, AZ in the late 1990s. That is where she fell in love with Latin dance, specifically Salsa and Merengue. When she lived in Korea, she was amazed at how popular Salsa was in this country and continued dancing whenever she could.

When she separated from active duty, she returned to the Chicagoland area to finish her Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science/International Relations from Northern Illinois University. During this busy time in her life, she was forced to take a partial hiatus from dance, introducing her to Zumba. Tanya found that it was the next best thing and tons of fun.

After completing her masters degree in International Business Administration from Nova Southeastern University, she returned to Chicago and began taking Zumba once again. In November 2009, she became an official certified Zumba instructor and in March 2010, she became a certified Zumba Toning instructor.
Tanya teaches a variety of classes throughout the Chicagoland area and she absolutely loves teaching and her students.

Tanya is also the proud owner of The Nines, a dynamic company specializing in events, marketing and public relations. When Tanya is not teaching Zumba or running her business, she enjoys teaching classes with Salsa Babies and Salsa tots, taking care of her daughter and traveling the world.
