With Zumba®, it's now a revelry which leaves you toned, healthy and smiling.
How Zumba® started
The brainchild of one Alberto "Beto" Perez, Zumba® was created in the wake of what many have described as a "happy accident". In the mid 1990s, Beto was working as a fitness instructor in his native Cali, Colombia. On the way to teaching one of his classes, he realised that he'd forgotten his traditional aerobics music. However, history was made when, rather than rushing home for his aerobics tapes, he instead improvised his own mix of music from the Salsa and Merengue tapes he was carrying in his backpack.Having grown up with this music, Beto was able to spontaneously create a new kind of dance-fitness which, rather than counting reps over music, instead focused upon letting the music move you. Anybody who's ever attended a Zumba® class will be able to imagine how quickly the energy electrified the room. People couldn't stop smiling – they loved it! It was the start of a revolution in fitness. To this day, Zumba® Fitness-Parties recapture the joyous energy of Beto's original "happy accident" wherever they take place.
You'll never forget your first Zumba® class. The philosophy is one of health and happiness and of loving everything you do, especially your workout. When you see a Zumba® class in action, you'll find the exotic rhythms and high-energy international beats irresistible. And, before you know it, you'll be getting fit and your energy levels will soar. There's nothing quite like Zumba®. It's easy to do, effective and utterly exhilarating. You'll make new friends, too, as a deep-rooted community is often built amongst returning students.
