BAJAN FUSION: Pon de FLO will be Pon de ROCK


The 2012 Bajan Fusion will be a special experience featuring New York City based Heather Fay, Founder and CEO of Pon De FLO® from June 25th to June 30 th in Barbados.
Heather is a current Town Sports International (TSI) New York Sports Clubs Instructor and Trainer, as well as an Independent Fitness Instructor and Professional Choreographer.
‘Pon de FLO’ is a Caribbean/ Reggae based dance fitness class, which incorporates high energy, easy to follow choreography and intense body strengthening moves.
The essence of this class is to let the energy of the music and choreography release all self inflicted boundaries we create for ourselves and allow us to just ‘FLO’ with the music. What better way to feel energy than through the hottest Caribbean and Reggae music around?! Dance is both body empowerment as well as a form of freedom and Pon de FLO brings you just that!
Here are benefits of Pon de FLO:
·         *For all ages, shapes, sizes and all levels of dance;
·         *Incorporates easy to follow choreography;
·         *Core movements and intense calisthenics which define and tone muscle, builds core strength, increases  flexibility and burns fat;
·         *Increases metabolic rate, builds endurance and stamina;
·         * An experience where a participant can not only improve their well being, but also feel an increase in energy and let their body flow
with the music without correction or judgment.
Heather is currently studying to become a nutritionist, as she believes nutrition and exercise go hand and hand to the success of a healthy weight and wellness. Being Vegan and a full time Instructor, Heather is advertising the importance of healthy eating habits alongside her Pon de FLO classes to enhance energy, health and over all well-being.

BAJAN FUSION: Heather Fay with Pon de FLO


HEATHER FAY
New York based Pro Fitness Instructor/ Master Zumba Trainer & 
Professional Choreographer

PON DE FLO

Dance aerobics unique to our region
Soca & Reggae Rhythms

The 2012 Bajan Fusion will be a special experience featuring Heather Fay, Founder and CEO of Pon De FLO. Heather is a current TSI New York Sports Clubs (NYSC) Instructor in New York City . 
Instructing Zumba and Hip-Hop classes for seven years in NYC, Heather has earned herself much creditability in the dance and fitness industry and a reputation as a Zumba Master Instructor. As a huge fitness advocate, Heather has always incorporated strength, core and plyometric exercises into her dance choreography to enhance the workout.
In 2011, Heather created ‘Pon de FLO®’; a Caribbean/ Reggae dance based fitness class which incorporates high intensity calisthenics and core movements with the hottest Caribbean and Reggae music out today. Although based in NYC, Pon de FLO® is quickly gaining popularity and expanding internationally.
On November 5, Heather presented in the Town Sports International (TSI) 2011 Summit in New York, where she lead an extremely successful session “The True Essence of Zumba”: Injury Prevention Techniques, to participants of all levels.
She earned certifications in Aerobic and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), National Academy of Sports
Medicine (NASM), Mad Dogg Spin® and YogaFit®. In 2006 Heather graduated with a Degree in Visual/ Graphic Arts from Holyoke College.
“I believe dance is both body empowerment as well as a form of freedom. When you dance, dance uninhibitedly. Lose yourself in the music and rhythms, freeing yourself from all the self-inflicted boundaries and consciousness we stress upon ourselves living in today’s society. When you dance, dance like no one is watching. Allowing yourself true freedom to move, will not only have you feel uplifted, but you will also feel your body strengthening and becoming more flexible.”
Heather Fay
