Justin DeAnda

Small Group Trainer

Justin DeAnda was born and raised in the Bay Area and moved to Los Angeles to pursue his career as a professional dancer. He has been on World Tours as a backup dancer in numerous TV shows and movies and is currently a dance and tumbling instructor at various studios in the area.

In addition to his passion for dance, Justin grew up as a competitive gymnast for 13 years, where flexibility, strength and conditioning were a vital focus towards his training. Having a background in these two sports has given him a tremendous amount of discipline, work ethic, drive and an emphasis on staying healthy.
