Yuko ‘Yukool’ Lee was born in Tokyo, Japan, and moved to New York, Hawaii and then to the Bay Area, California when she was 18. She’s always loved music and dance, but was more of a tennis player (high school state champion) until she discovered dance fitness at her local gym in 2004. One day she was prompted to become an instructor herself, and became a dance fitness instructor in 2012. She loves dance fitness (esp. choreography) and instructing dance fitness, she considers both to be a priviledge. She enjoys seeing her students’ eyes light up and their faces turn into big smiles during and after class, and she herself considers class time to be her stress relief.

‘Yukool’ considers her gym fambam as her second family, and is THRILLED to Dance, Sweat, & Live with the GROOV3 fambam!
