Charlotte Mulloy’s discovery of movement has been a part of a transformational body and mind journey. Charlotte’s journey to health began over 7 years ago in an aerobic dance class. While dancing she realized her body felt alive and filled with joy. It was then she decided she wanted more movement in her life. Charlotte proceeded to earn her group exercise certification and began teaching group exercise dance classes at the Jewish Community Center and the Siskey YMCA. Through dance she rediscovered her love of music, acting and singing. Charlotte enjoyed her first Nia class in May of 2011. The music and movement stirred her soul, and she immediately signed up for the Nia White Belt Intensive to become an instructor. Charlotte teaches Zumba, Nia, Ageless Grace and Active Older Adult aerobic dance classes at the Siskey YMCA, Harris YMCA and The Belly Guru Yoga studio in Pineville. She is CPR/AED and First Aid Certified. She would love to dance with you.
