Ms. Mangual (known to her students as “Ms. M”) was born and raised in Kissimmee, Florida. She graduated high school at the age of 17 with honors. At the age of three, she was enrolled in a dance school and her love for dance grew. At the age of 10 she became an assistant teacher, and by 17 was a dance teacher in tumbling, jazz, and tap. This opened an opportunity at a mommy and me business named “Tot to Trot” where she organized and planned daily schedules for moms and toddlers such as arts and craft, dance, music, and cooking. During this time, she became certified as a fitness instructor. She is still currently a dance teacher, and her goal is to become a certified children's fitness teacher to obese and diabetic children.
