Gianna Louis was born to dance! The love of music and dance came naturally to her. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and being surrounded by different styles and genres of dance has deepened her appreciation of arts and culture. She studied and majored in production management at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Over the years, she has worked as a Production Coordinator for various leading corporations. Being in the industry, she has been able to adapt to changes, remain flexible, and achieve efficiency in a demanding market. Although most of her career has been in the field of production and sourcing in the apparel industry, her passion for dance has always lived within her heart. She has served as a Praise dancer in her community church. She also continues to volunteer in the ministry of dance with the African American Leadership Council praise and worship dance team. She is also a Zumba kids and adults instructor. As a Zumba instructor, she gets the opportunity to help others, through fitness, transform and be the best version of themselves in a fun and interactive environment. Louis continues to explore the art of dance and is energized to teach, lead, and inspire children and young adults through the art of dance.
