About the Club

Our motto is DANCE TO BE FIT, TRAIN TO BE STRONG. We’re a different kind of dance studio or fitness facility. We offer forms of GROUP FITNESS. We are also Ventura’s first studio dedicated to Zumba Fitness®.

We do fitness. We train you, guide you and help you with our knowledge and our techniques.

Have you ever gone into a gym and wondered what to do with the machines or how to work your body? No one was there to guide you or help you, right? It might have felt overwhelming. It made you want to just leave and give up. You pay for a membership you never use.

At Danzar, we support and cheer each other on. Many students become close friends and we become a community of people striving for the common goal of health.

Just attended my FIRST Zumba class and believe when I say you don't have to know what you're doing amd will learn as you go. I've been intimidated to join before because I assumed you need to be great at catching on to the steps quickly. But my seasoned friends (one is a guest instructor) assured me I'd have a blast. it's a dance meets FITNESS workout.

Ionia is the owner and a fantastic instructor who motivates all to have FUN. She's so inclusive and keeps you on your feet. Not only was it fun but a calorie burner.

Sign up, don't hesitate!

Don’t hesitate to at least try out a class, you won’t regret it. I started with the year of change fitness program, and this is my second year. And the program name says it all… It’s truly a life changing experience, when I started the program I was wearing size 1X clothes, and could barely lift my legs to exercise, or even do one push up, true story..

I currently wear size M clothing, and not only does this improve your looks, but also improves your strength and mental status. It feels good to work hard and see the results. It takes time, perseverance, dedication, and patience, but if you stick to it you won’t regret it.

Ionia is by far the best instructor, she puts in her own flavor in the Zumba class and helps you find your own. She offers strength training as well! She takes time to make sure you understand what you are learning, and one of the things that I really like, is that she doesn’t let you give up on yourself, and motivates you to do your best! Just make an appointment with her, you won’t regret it! Look at my picture before and after 9 months into the program.

Such a wonderful place to go exercise in many different ways! I've been going here for a little over 10 years to kickboxing, Booty Blast (cardio/aerobics), and Zumba. All classes are fun, motivating, and make exercise easy. Clients are a variety of ages, levels, and males and females, so all are welcome! Prices are also affordable!

I have been coming to Ventura Danzar & Zumba Fitness for over 11 years and I have never had a negative experience at the studio. In fact, coming to the studio is like getting together with family. All of the instructors ( and especially the owner Ionia) take a personal interest in everyone who comes through the doors. There are classes for everyone - Zumba, personal training, specialized fitness - it doesn’t matter if it is your first time or your thousandth - there is something for you at Ventura Danzar!!!

This is a great studio for Zumba fitness classes in Ventura. On my first visit, I was welcomed by the studio owner and greeted by members who were friendly so I felt right at home. The music took us around the world and the choreography was fun and easy to follow. If you're new to Zumba, they offer Zumba Gold classes that's a great place for beginners. If you're looking for a place to get your fitness on, this is a very nice community that will welcome. You will leave with a smile on your face!

I hadn't exercised at all in a very long time. I hate gyms but just wanted to get my body moving. This place is welcoming and fun. You can go full out or modify all the moves. So I just keep moving and enjoying the people and great music. Different membership options for different schedules etc.

The truth is, along with my weight training, I know that I am supposed to do Cardio as well. The problem is that I've NEVER liked any of the traditional types of Cardio you find on the gym floor. It wasn't until my Sister suggested to me that I should try Zumba as a form of Fitness/Cardio, thinking I would actually enjoy making "dance" the solution for getting my Cardio in. She was RIGHT! That 1 hour of nonstop dancing is the most effective cardio exercise I've ever done.
My first experience with Zumba was at the gym in which I was doing my weight training. The atmosphere was fine but, definitely a more subdued "gym atmosphere." One day a woman I'd met there told me that I should try Danzar stating it was "more fun." I thought, "More fun?!...than this!?" This I had to see for myself!
The following week I went to Danzar and found out she was RIGHT. The atmosphere was much more communal and that of a 1 hour Dance Party. The energy was off the hook and it was clear the folks there had forged a wonderful connection with Danzar and each other. I've been a regular there ever since!
When you are gathered together with a large group of people, moving in harmony with one another to an insanely infectious rhythm, you feel you are all part of a tribe. A tribe forged by joy! This is Danzar!
If you've ever thought of trying out Zumba, come to where you'll have the richest experience. Come with me to Danzar and dance for JOY!

I love this studio! The music is infectious, the instructors are knowledgeable and pumped to be there. And the other men and women are so welcoming, unlike my experiences at some of the other Big Gyms around town. I highly recommend their classes ... Zumba, Zumba Gold (includes strength training) and Barre.

Danzar is a fun and exciting way to exercise. The studio brings like minded people like myself together to dance and sweat. I love taking the Zumba classes. I get to dance with the many friends I’ve made there and get a full workout. The instructors pour their heart and soul into their routines.They keep the classes fun and interesting. The environment at Danzar is very welcoming .I’m so glad I found Danzar

I highly recommend this form of workout and especially this studio. The group that attends is warm and welcoming and the instructors are the best! There’s no pressure to have to be a great dancer just lots of shared energy that makes it feel like fun not work! The price per class is also very reasonable. Love this place!

I love Danzar! The instructors are great. They are all warm, charismatic and knowledgeable. What's more Ionia, Heather, Kelly, Ambrosio and Zorana each have their own style and specialty.

The studio is in great shape - clean, wooden floors, good lighting, and a floor length mirror.

The other members are delightful. I was greeted and welcomed from Day One. Many have been coming for years.

I highly recommend Danzar for anyone looking to dance or for a fun fitness option!

This studio is just lots of fun! I've had the pleasure of having a great variety of Zumba instructors over the 8 years I have been coming here. The instructors are the best in the area and there is no peer pressure so that I always feel comfortable. The group of mostly women is welcoming and friendly too. This is simply the best workout that doesn't feel like exercise!

A one-of-a-kind, rare gem in this area!! You cannot get this kind of Zumba experience at a big box fitness center! Ionia's studio is a very special place with top-quality instructors, authentic and satisfying music/choreography, real wood dance floor, and a community feeling of supportive members dancing together to get a great workout. It's been over 6 years since I began attending Danzar and it is always fresh, joyful and uplifting. Dancing for an hour a day, whether you take it easy, go hard or somewhere in between, is one way to guarantee that endorphin release which gives you the best possible attitude to deal with the rest of your day. Think you can't dance? Think again---there are no wrong moves, and the collective energy of fun, joy and support will sweep you up and get you enjoying yourself so much, you'll hardly notice what a fantastic workout you are giving your body and your brain. Try it!! xoxoxoxoxo
