About Paula Marie
I'm a certified Pilates Trainer/Fitness /Dance Instructor with years of experience. I've had the honor to manage fitness programs and facilities at the Commercial, Private and Government levels for the past 15 years. My love for Pilates beckoned me to open my Pilates studio in 2007.
​
Before my fitness journey began I danced professionally for Chuck Davis' company, The African American Dance Ensemble and taught Dance and Theater Movement within the school system. Originally from North Carolina, I have more than 20 years of Dance and Theater experience.
My Company DanzeFit is a combination of my love of Dance and Fitness. Change the "C" in dance to the letter "Z" and hang on tight as we begin the work. Black Girls Do Pilates 2 was born from my DanzeFit journey.

It was such a pleasure to talk with you after all these years. As I was contemplating an exercise program and Pilates again, you immediately came to mind. You were a remarkable personal trainer for me.

I’ve been into Pilates since 2009. It was something that I was curious about. When I entered the class I was the ONLY black girl. I was like what is wrong this is a great excerise for balance. Also I noticed NO black instructors which was odd to me. But guess who shows up (Paula) who showed me how the reformer worked & her version of Pilates. OMG what a feeling! She’s AMAZING & guess what she has CURVES. What more could you ask for in an instructor. I really LOVE her!
