About

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.

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 many-years-long dream to have her own business while celebrating her passion for music, dance, and diversity with the communities around her.  After an unplanned departure from the corporate world in 2024, Melinda decided now is the time to make it happen.
