About Gina Grant

Gina Grant was born on June 27th in Hayward, California.  During her childhood years, she was drawn into the art of dance. This was accredited to her mother and grandmother’s dream of becoming dancers. She began her destiny at the age of four and over time, mastered various genres including Tap, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Hawaiian, Tahitian, Musical Theatre, and now Zumba.   Dance has always been an outlet and an instrument used to express her feelings, as well as stay in shape. “Dance has always been my passion,” according to Gina.  This passion has led her to become a professional dancer/choreographer for over 15 years and counting. Over the course of time she has reigned as a phenomenal dance instructor for children, teens and adults.  As a professional dancer/choreographer, Gina danced for the NBA as well as performed in numerous televised events all over the world.

The most important accomplishment for Gina was having a family. She is a very family oriented woman who is married to Brian Grant, a former NBA player, and together they have four beautiful children.  

The Grant family was relocated from Portland, Oregon to Miami, Florida in 2000.  While living there, she discovered Zumba.  For seven years, she was fortunate to have been trained in Zumba by Beto Perez, the creator.  After being a regular student, she became an instructor, and is currently a Zumba Education Specialist and International Presenter.  Gina is featured in the latest Zumba Fitness DVD Collection, and can been seen on the Zumba infomercial.  Her latest project is appearing as a host in the new Zumbatomic DVD’s for kids, launcing in 2009. Gina is a Certified Group Fitness Instructor with both AFAA and ACE.

With the support of her family, Gina is able to continue to live passionately through dance, with the hopes of inspiring others through her instruction.
