About
He's a doctor.
He's also the party.
Dr. Raymond "Doc" Poliquit has been teaching Zumba® since February 2017. Out of 1,438 ratings on Zumba.com he sits at 4.7 stars — not because anyone graded him hard, but because thousands of students kept showing up to grade him at all.
Doc didn't plan to build a dance family on six continents. He planned to teach a couple of evening classes around his medical work — somewhere people could leave their week at the door, sweat a little, laugh a lot, and remember they had a body.
Then the pandemic hit. The in-person studio had to close. So Doc opened his laptop, hit "host meeting," and the dance floor went global. Today, the Get Moving with the Zumba® Doc family runs 37 live classes a week, with 35+ instructors from 7 countries — from Lucia in Italy at 7 am Kenner time, to Anderson at 9 am Manila time, with the whole Gulf Coast in between.
The in-person studio is back too, at 500 Vintage Drive, Suite D, Kenner, LA 70065. New floor. Same Doc. Same loud, joyful room.
