like a party more than a workout!
Beto Perez, a professonal dancer and fitness trainer from Columbia, South
America created the concept of Zumba. The story goes that one day he forgot
to bring his regular aerobics music to teach his class. Instead he used some
Latin music tapes that he had in his car and improvised. The class was a hit and
became in high demand and was named "Rumbacize."
In 1999 Beto came to the U.S. and was approached by entrepreneurs Alberto
Perlman and Alberto Aghion. They changed the name to "Zumba" and started
marketing it worldwide. In 2002 the first Zumba videos were sold and Zumba
began training instructors. In 2008 Zumba has over 20,000 trained instructors in
35 countries and has sold millions of Zumba DVD's! They also sell a zumba
clothing line including pants, tops, hats, and bracelets among other things.

Zumba is a combination of dance and fitness moves done to lively, uplifting
music. A zumba class will usually use a combination of dance steps such as
salsa, merengue, and reggaetone. Zumba also uses fitness exercises such as
squats, knee-lifts, and bicep curls. Zumba fitness is characterized by
"booty-shaking" moves that make people smile, laugh and let loose! Zumba
music uses mostly latin rhythms but also uses other upbeat music from calypso
to swing.You can burn 500-800 calories in a one-hour class while at the same
time tone muscles and relieve stress. Zumba is for both men and women,
although classes are predominately female! It attracts people of all ages and all
nationalities. There are a few specialties in Zumba as well such as, zumba
toning, zumba aqua, zumba gold (for seniors) and zumba for kids.
