Have a Zumba Fitness® party at home

The Zumba Fitness Kinect Game recreates the party-like atmosphere of its live classes and will have you dancing in a variety of venues from a gym to a fantasy night club. You will be led through 30 routines by celebrity zumba instructors Tanya Beardsley, Gina Grant and the creator of Zumba Fitness®, Beto Perez. There will be a training tutorial to teach you the steps from beginning to advanced. You can also play it as a game with a group where you can team up to earn points.

Get a Great Workout While You Dance

If you have been taking dance-aerobic classes you know that dancing is a great form of cardio exercise that burns calories and tones muscles. The new Kinect system is totally voice and movement activated so it allows you to move your whole body. There are no controllers or hardware to hook up to yourself so there are no restrictions. This allows you to get an effective exercise workout. Another advantage is that the Zumba Fitness® and Dance Central games will teach you how to dance. Zumba will teach you latin and international dances such as salsa, merengue and reggaeton. The Dance Central game will have you dancing as if you were in a music video doing hip-hop and pop. As a fitness program they will track and record your progress and even tell you how many calories you burned.

Dance Central will have you dancing like you are in a music video.

Available NOW!

The Dance Central Kinect game will have you doing hip-hop choreography to current songs. The program includes an introduction to over 600 moves and then teaches you how to put it together into a routine. More than 90 dance routines are featured to the music of Lady Gaga, No Doubt, M.I.A. and more. This program also tracks the calories you burn. As a game you will progress as a dancer earning points and as a result be able to view more dynamics in the video.
