We are thrilled to share that Leesa Bunn is joining the TerraLuna Family as a Dance Fitness Instructor. Leesa has been a student of dance fitness since 2018, an instructor since 2019, has held certifications in Dance2Fit & Turn Up Dance Fitness as well as a Group Fitness Instructor certification from the Athletics & Fitness Association of America (AFAA).
She believes that working out doesn’t have to feel like a chore, and that it’s way more fun when you’re doing it in a room full of friends and laughter with the music blasting. While working out for the physical benefits is all well and good, what she really wants is for everyone who takes her class to feel emotionally/mentally/spiritually lighter when they leave than they were when they first came to class.
In Leesa’s classes, the goal is to peel back layers of self-judgment and self-criticism, to take off all of the hats we wear through the course of our daily lives (friend, family member, employee, parent, partner, caretaker, etc.) and get back in touch with who we really are at our core. Music and movement are both therapeutic on their own, so when they’re put together they are pretty much an unstoppable force of joy and freedom.
Leesa wants to help others experience new levels of self-acceptance, self-love, freedom and empowerment through the magic of dance fitness. The goal is simple here: let loose and have fun.
Read on to learn more about Leesa:
I first discovered dance fitness in 2009 when I was invited to try Jazzercise and to my absolute shock - I loved it. I jazzed it up for a while but fell off the wagon eventually. Fast forward to 2018 when a friend invited me to try Dance2Fit classes at a local studio, Dance2Fit with Sylvia. It was love at first step. I took my first class, then my second, then made it my personal goal to take every single class offered at the studio and before I knew it I was there at least three times a week, taking about 5 classes per week total.
I can't really explain exactly what it was about Dance2Fit that changed everything for me, but the best I can do is to describe it as the vessel that brought my home to myself again. I NEVER danced, in fact I loathed dancing and would have rather lived my entire life as a hermit who never left her house if it meant that I never had to dance in front of another human being. Alas, the magical power of dance FITNESS took hold and changed my entire life. I felt my mind and body connecting in a way that was bringing my SPIRIT back to life and I simply could not get enough of it. I wanted to shout it from the rooftops, I wanted everyone in the entire world to feel what I was feeling.
So, in spring of 2019 I became a certified Dance2Fit instructor mentoring under Sylvia at her studio, I also obtained my AFAA Group Fitness Instructor certification and was officially on the schedule as an instructor in August 2019. In September 2019 I also obtained my Turn Up Dance Fitness Instructor certification. My entire life has changed in every single way since then, but I have found that the one thing that still brings my mind, body and spirit back home is letting my body just move to the music and after all these years, I still want to share this gift of empowerment, self love and self care with as many women as I can possibly reach.
We are thrilled to have Leesa, with all of her exuberance and passion, join the TerraLuna team. Check out our schedule here to book your first class with her, on Tuesdays at 7:00pm.
