Kay Kamuf

Kay Kamuf is a member of Owensboro Christian Church and a certified Zumba instructor.  When Zumba was first introduced to the Owensboro area Kay knew in her heart that God had called her to teach this high energy cardio class as a form of worship to glorify him.  Kay believes that we are to worship God with dancing as Psalm 149:3 beautifully states. "Let them praise his name with dancing."
She will also teach Zumba Gold to the active older adults who want to have fun and enjoy dancing and moving while worshipping him.  Kay will be using Latin and Christian music to motivate you to exercise.  Kay began instructing Zumba classes in January of 2008 at the Rec Center.
