About Me: 

 

Hello Good folks! I’m Lakisha Langston, your enthusiastic Zumba Fitness Instructor and proud member of the Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN) since 2018! With licenses in Zumba B1, Zumba Gold, Zumba Kids/Kids Jr, and Aqua Zumba, plus my CPR certification, I’m all set to bring the fun to your special events—think fundraisers, corporate gatherings, birthday parties, and more! Just reach out via email or phone, and let’s make it happen! I’ve had the joy of teaching private classes and have rocked the stage at various gyms. My experience also includes serving individuals with special needs and their families through the Department of Education and Non-Profit Agencies.

​

Right now, you can catch me teaching at Gold’s Gym (LaGrande) in Poughkeepsie, NY, every Sunday at 11 am. I’ve been there for over a year, and my students—old and new—have been eagerly anticipating more dance sessions. I super excited to announce two new opportunities to groove together! I’m thrilled to introduce my “Zumba with Lakisha (Summer Body Ready)” classes, launched by KishMode Fitness, LLC ™, starting January 23, 2025! Join me on Saturday, February 15th and 22nd at 10 am at The Town of Poughkeepsie Community Center in Poughkeepsie, NY!

 

How it all began:

Back in November 2017, I kicked off my health journey, and it transformed my life! Walking into my first Zumba class sparked a passion for dance, music, and performance that I couldn’t resist. I lost weight, felt amazing, and was inspired by incredible Zumba Instructors who became my mentors. This motivated me to become a Zumba Dance Fitness Instructor and “Pay It Forward.” Zumba is my sanctuary—it’s my happy place! It helps me keep fit, reduce stress, and enjoy life while inspiring others. I lovingly call my classes “My Health Ministry” because of the healing and support we share. I always tell my students, “Love who you are, where you are, trust the process, and make exercise a lifestyle.”, let me be your motivation! Let’s Goooo!
