Ethel’s love for dance began in her elementary school years and flourished at a dance school in Baguio City, Philippines, where she trained in Modern Jazz, Hawaiian, and Tahitian styles.

Beyond dance, Ethel has spent 15 years as a dedicated florist specializing in weddings and birthdays. She is also a proud Registered Nurse with 28 years of experience, currently working at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center—California’s top hospital and the official provider of the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Team USA. In her Zumba classes, Ethel aims to create a meaningful connection with every student. She curates playlists that span a variety of genres and eras, ensuring the music resonates with the class while staying true to Zumba’s core.
