What exactly is Zumba?
ZUMBA is a Latin inspired, dance exercise class that incorporates Latin and International music and dance movements that create a dynamic, exciting and effective fitness system!
The class format combines fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body in an aerobic fitness fashion to achieve a unique blended balance of
cardio and muscle-toning benefits. Zumba dance fitness integrates some of the basic principles of aerobic, interval, and resistance training to
maximize caloric output, cardiovascular benefits, and total body toning. The cardio-based dance movements are easy-to-follow steps that include
body sculpting, which targets areas such as gluteals, legs, arms, core, abdominals and the most important muscle in the body THE HEART!
Dancers and non dancers alike can immediately and easily master a Zumba dance exercise class because you do not have to know how to dance to
succeed.
Zumba creates a party-like atmosphere that provides a non-intimidating opportunity for non-dancers, new exercisers, or those who have
previously hesitated to participate in group dance classes. At the same time, dancers and long-time exercisers thoroughly enjoy the change of
pace exercising in a healthy and fun environment.
All students feel comfortable knowing that they can just go with the flow and enjoy the party! Zumba's passionate and explosive Latin and
international music rhythms speak for themselves as they naturally motivate participants during class, which makes them want to return again
and again!!!!
The Music
Zumba is a mixture of salsa, merengue, bachata, cumbia, cha-cha, samba, flamenco, quebradita, calypso, reggaetton and belly dancing.
The History
Zumba Dance Fitness was created in the mid-90's by Columbian native Alberto Beto Perez, a celebrity fitness trainer and choreographer for
international pop superstars. Inspired by the traditional cumbia, salsa, samba and meringue music he grew up with, Beto paired his favorite
pulsating Latin rhythms with the red-hot international dance steps his clients loved and Zumba Fitness (Spanish slang for “to move fast and
have fun”) was born!
Since Beto brought Zumba Dance Fitness to the US in 1999, it has become one of the fastest-growing, dance-based fitness crazes in the country,
with people of all ages falling in love with its infectious music, easy-to-follow dance moves, and body-beautifying benefits.
