Justine now teaches a variety of classes including Zumba, Zumba Gold, Seated Zumba Gold, Senior Strength & Balance, Aqua, Bollywood, and RGM Brain Training. Her classes are welcoming, social, and fun, bringing people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds together to move, connect, and enjoy the joy of movement.

Trained in Indian classical dance in India, she performed in numerous shows and presentations before moving overseas for higher education.
