Renee Allen
President & Founder Of Healing Thru Rhythm

Renee was born in Brooklyn, New York and moved to Los Angeles at a very young age. She always had a passion for dance, but did not understand its therapeutic capabilities while growing up.

In 2011, Renee went to a Zumba class for the first time and as she continued to attend these classes she learned how liberating dance fitness can be. While going to Zumba classes four to five times per week, she worked a full-time job while also simultaneously taking care of her young children. A wife and mother of five, she realized balancing a family and career may be tough, but she was a strong believer that finding time for yourself, your health and mental well-being are very important and set a strong precedent for her family and others.

A year later in 2012, Renee took a leap of faith and became a certified Zumba instructor. She wanted to share her love with others who had the aspiration to become a better stronger version of themselves and discovered the healing powers of dance fitness.

Today, Renee is the President & Founder of Healing Thru Rhythm where she aims to meet the health and wellness needs of the community and embrace mental stability through dance fitness. She volunteers her time and continues to instruct dance fitness classes at COLLAB Dance Studio in Carson, California. With the creation of monthly themed events at her classes, Renee pursues to make her students exercise their bodies and minds, smile more, and live a healthy life.

What People Are Saying About Healing Thru Rhythm...

"Since starting dance fitness, I've lost 45 pounds. My confidence is better than it has ever been, my attitude towards myself and life in general is so much more positive. It lowered my cholesterol and blood pressure. I've gained my strength, improved my balance and flexibility and increased my stamina. I finally found a program that burns calories and a good cardio but are so entertaining and fun that I don't even feel like I'm working out. I absolutely love the class and instructors. Try it, you'll love it."
