creator of danceytude™, meagan ponce
dancer and dance fitness instructor
Meagan Ponce, is one of the hottest group fitness instructors in the Chicagoland area. She is a former student of the Boitsov Russian School of Ballet and has extensive dance experience in various genres including: bellydancing, bhangra, salsa, merengue, bachata, African dance, and samba.
Her fitness journey began years ago when she used to do Jane Fonda workout records, (yes, RECORDS), alongside her mom. Never in a million years did she plan to find herself in the wellness arena for anything more than an occasional workout, but her road to fitness has been extremely organic.
She became a ZUMBA teacher about a year after having her son, she got her first dance fitness position at a Pilates studio, and began honing her classes and her style. She quickly gained a following as her classes became wildly popular. She called them DANCEYTUDE™ --- dance + attitude --- to mark the difference she brought to the dance fitness world.
Meagan has almost ten years of flourishing experience as a fitness instructor and trainer, and natural childbirth coach/educator. She has performed in front of crowds of 20,000 at Broadway in Chicago’s Summer Concert, instructed thousands of classes, given countless fitness tips and advice, and helped hundreds of women. And now she is combining all of her experience, training, and knowledge to create a community of wellness, information, and fun!
DANCEYTUDE™ is the home of Meagan's choreographed-based, high intensity routines injected with genuine dance steps that secretly incorporates major muscle group and core fitness movements to build a rock solid body!
