​Latin Heat Moves (LHM) was created as an all-in-one solution to help instructors setup, recruit, and manage their classes. All they have to do is show up, teach, and go home! LHM handles the rest, from space bookings and logistics to class management and promotion.
​
We are currently testing new places to expand and offer our classes.
ABOUT
Meet the Founder
Melinda spent her entire career in the marketing & ad industry, during which she and a friend would meetup at LA Fitness every week to workout and catch up. She had always loved to dance, but Zumba typically felt like a "workout" and she wanted something more fun, more dance-y. Then she met our inaugural instructor Andrew, whose passion is in teaching vs. running a business, so... voila!
​
Latin Heat Moves is the manifestation of Melinda's entrepreneurial spirit to run her own business while celebrating her passion for music, dance, and diversity with the communities around her. After leaving Google in 2024, Melinda decided now is the time to make it happen.
Andrew comes from a background in Latin dance instruction as well as choreography for Latin and Ballroom rhythms. Since 2010, he has taught at numerous gym locations across NJ and NY. With his love for music and passion for dancing, Andrew brings an exciting and fun workout that incorporates high intensity cardio with rhythmic dance moves. He wants people of all ages and backgrounds to just have FUN, and get a workout in the process.
