"DANCE PITTSBURGH" CERTIFIED FITNESS INSTRUCTOR
Bonjour! My name is Nathalie Dima
and I am the French addition to the "Dance Pittsburgh" team!
I was born and raised in France, and came in the US in 2001 after marrying my (Romanian!) husband. I'm a graduate
of the Institute of Political Science in Paris (MA, 2001) and the University of Pittsburgh (MA, History, 2004). My current
full-time job, though, is raising my three beautiful children trilingual :)
I started taking dance lessons when I was four, competed in gymnastics as a child and teen,
and continued dancing through college. Grad school and children then made it difficult for me to exercise regularly. The dance
class I enrolled for in August of 2009 was actually my first fitness class in ten years!!! I instantly loved the energy and
enthusiasm in the classroom. It made me realize how much I had missed dancing! After the second class, I was hooked, and decided
to start training to become a "Dance Pittsburgh" instructor.
I currently teach in 2 locations but don't worry--although you'll hear me say a lot of "ouiiiiiis"
in class, the instruction is all in English :)
I'm
looking forward to meeting you, getting to know you and dancing with you!
