In Practice
"Where movement becomes connection."
The work lives where it always has — with children and families, in classrooms, parks, community spaces, and virtual experiences designed for connection.
As current instructor with the Beach Cities Health District and 12+ year leader of Zumba in the Park in Redondo Beach, Monica has facilitated experiences across schools, childcare centers, churches, wellness spaces, and community organizations.
A calm, organized presence who can lead a circle of toddlers, support families, and help programs run with warmth, structure, and care.

Monica believes children and families learn best through movement, music, and authentic connection.
"Lead with warmth. Build with care."
Her work sits at the intersection of education, wellness, and community — a quiet philosophy of leading with presence, listening before instructing, and building programs that feel like home.
Joy is the curriculum.
Every class is designed to give children and families something to carry home — confidence, rhythm, a shared language, and a sense of belonging that outlasts the music.
"Children learn best through joy, movement, music, and connection."
The training that shapes the practice — quietly held, deeply earned.
