Listen Later

Latoya Ferrell is a ball of fire on the dance floor. In this week’s episode, Latoya chats with Dr. Jasmine about how she is using dance fitness to give God glory. Latoya has managed to scale her Zumba class from a few to hundreds, all while dancing her way straight into purpose. Latoya’s fitness classes highlight Zumba inspiration and her own brand PraiseFit. 

Episode Quotes: 

  • “I love Zumba and MixFit, but I wanted to find a way to tap into my faith; I do that through PraiseFit.” 
  • “You have to go out and go after what you want by thinking outside the box, connecting with the right people, and putting a plan in place."


Latoya Ferrell has a purpose and passion for dance. At the age of seven, her mother put her in dance classes where she took ballet and hip hop. She went on to dance in high school and the journey continued into her adult life. In her twenties, Latoya discovered that dancing is a true gift from God. Latoya says, “It’s through dance that I am able to connect with people. The joy on their faces reassures me that I am dancing with a purpose.” In recent years, Latoya was able to take her dancing to another level. In 2012, she became a certified Zumba instructor.
