Meet the lead instructor
Darrell Mayo aka Dakota Cox
Founder of B.A.G Fitness, Cleveland entertainer, and licensed Zumba instructor. For over 10 years, Darrell has performed as Dakota Cox across Cleveland, Michigan, and the Midwest—bringing people together through music and self-expression.
Drawing on his own fitness journey, Darrell created a space where LGBTQ+ people—and everyone seeking a welcoming class—can feel comfortable, represented, and free to be themselves.
His Drag Zumba experience blends drag’s creativity and energy with accessible dance fitness. You don’t need to perform in drag: come move, laugh, sweat, and express yourself without fear of judgment. Darrell teaches both as himself and as Dakota Cox.
Come as you are. Move how you move. Be unapologetically YOU.
