Each month, we feature a Bright Star teacher and student pair, who share with us their own special experiences in dance.
Teacher Spotlight: Caity Hager – Zumba
Sundays, 4:00-5:00 PM
Q. What’s your movement background?
A. I took ballet and jazz dance classes for several years when I was young. I hadn’t danced for years when I went to my first Zumba class in 2010. I was nervous to try Zumba and didn’t know much about it, but was determined to try a class each evening for a week when I was looking for a way to get into an exercise routine. Since my first class, I haven’t gone much more than a week without Zumba – it’s such a fun way to move!
Q. How does dance complement your life?
A. Letting loose and moving around is a great way for me to take a break from everything else that is going on in my day. I love going to a Zumba class and having an hour of fun where I just dance around and get a great workout!
Q. What’s your favorite kind of student?
A. I love students who come to class ready to smile, try new moves, and have fun. Someone who knows that Zumba is just a fun way to get fit and it’s OK if it takes awhile to catch on to a new song or move. I’m always smiling and laughing and it’s great if you are, too!

Student Spotlight: Paige – Zumba
Q. What do you study at Bright Star?
A. Zumba with Caity!!!
Q. What drew you to Bright Star?
A. I first attended zumba with Caity after a referral from my sister. I was looking for a place and a class where I could have fun and feel comfortable. The location and timing were convenient and the class sounded fun. It turned out to be a lovely studio and awesome class. I was hooked.
Q. How did dance come into your life?
A. Honestly, through zumba classes with Caity. I have never been much of a dancer with the exception of bopping around at home by myself.
Q. From your experience, what would you want a new dance student to know?
A. Anyone can do it! Give it a try! I was always intimidated by fitness classes, especially dance. I never thought I would be successful in a dance class but now I feel confident, have fun and work up a sweat! In a good way!
Caity is the perfect teacher for people with varying abilities. She is knowledgeable and is able to meet her students at whatever level they are at physically. I am having fun and becoming more healthy in a supportive environment. The music is a perk too!
