Why People Come Back

You don't need a routine.
You need a room.

Doc's studio isn't a workout — it's a standing weekly invitation. Show up, leave the day at the door, sweat with people who actually remember your name. Every level. Every body. Every age.

First-timers

Stand in the back. Follow what you can. You'll have a favorite song by class three.

Regulars

37 classes a week across 35 instructors. There's always something fresh in rotation.

Seniors

Low-impact options in every virtual class. Our whole online program is pay-what-you-can — show up however you can.

World travelers

Class is at 7 am Kenner time and 9 am Manila time. The dance floor follows the sun.

Meet the Zumba® Doc

A real doctor.
A really good time.

Dr. Raymond "Doc" Poliquit has been a licensed Zumba® instructor since February 2017, with a 4.7-star rating across 1,438 student reviews on Zumba.com. Certified in Zumba® Basic 1 and Zumba® Kids & Kids Jr. He built the El Doco Loco family by showing up — week after week, time zone after time zone.

What students say.

Real reviews from Doc's students, posted on his Zumba.com instructor profile and our Facebook page.

"Raymond (Doc) is awesome, welcoming, and his cueing style was so accurate and easy to follow. Half a song in and he had us all OoOoh-ooOoh-ing and jumping higher than we thought we would. Amazing class. Will definitely catch y'all again at El Doco Loco Dance Studio!"

"Raymond is a great teacher. We always have fun. Don't be afraid to dance with El Doco Loco — he doesn't mind your steps or how you dance. As long as you're moving with Raymond, he doesn't worry about it. Come enjoy Zumba with Doc."

"All of the instructors were on FIRE!!! We definitely showed up and showed out for Doc's birthday. I'm grateful to have been able to attend."

Kaleb · Sep 5, 2025
"Raymond's cues were so easy to follow and he played great tracks to get you pumped. I'll definitely be returning, with my friends!"

Come dance.
Bring a friend.

Nobody should walk into their first class alone. Book a spot, bring somebody with you, and next time they can return the favor. Ask Doc about our bring-a-friend offer when you book — details are being finalized.
