Jasmine de LaCruz

A classically trained ballet dancer at the renowned Tuzer Ballet School in Richardson, TX, Jasmine’s love of dance and passion for performing started at the age of 3! In college, her favorite hip-hop aerobics instructor did not show up for class and knowing all the routines, Jasmine gladly filled in. A few days later she was offered a job at the rec center and that sent her down the road to group fitness.  In 2005, Jasmine was chosen to join an elite squad of 24 Hour Fitness instructors to launch Nike’s first dance-inspired workout created by choreographer Jaime King. Along the way, she also picked up certifications through Yogafit, Peak Pilates, Reebok, Kaiser Cycling, Zumba Fitness and Moms in Motion. Outside of the gym, Jasmine has been featured at venues such as the Texas Toyota Triathalon, North Texas Relay for Life, and the White Rock Earth Day Festival in Dallas. During the summers she moonlights as a choreographer at the Repertory Company Theatre. Recent shows include Young Frankenstein, Addams Family The Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Legally Blonde the Musical, and Spamalot. In 2017, she was recognized by BroadwayWorld.com in the category of Best Choreography for her production of Grease, The Musical. During the holidays Jasmine still graces the main stage at the Eisemann Center with her recurring role as Frau Rattenhausen aka "The Queen Rat" in Tuzer Ballet’s The Nutcracker. For the past 21 years, she has held several roles at Life Time, including Kids Studio Creator, Studio National Master Trainer and On Demand 540 Fitness Coach. Jasmine wears many hats but her favorite job title is “mom” to 3 of her beautiful boys, Jaxon, Zander and Jett Zackary.
