About Zumba Classes
Zumba Classes combine high energy and motivating music
with unique moves and combinations that allow the Zumba
participants to dance away their worries. It is based on the
principle that a workout should be "FUN AND EASY TO DO" in
order for Zumba participants to stick to the Zumba fitness
program to achieve long-term health benefits. Zumba
Classes are not only great for the body, but is also great for
the mind. It is a "feel-happy" workout.
ZUMBA is a fusion of Latin and International music - dance
themes creating a dynamic, exciting, effective fitness
system! The routines feature aerobic/fitness interval training
with a combination of fast and slow rhythms that tone and
sculpt the body. Zumba utilizes the principals of fitness
interval training and resistance training to maximize caloric
output, fat burning and total body toning. It is a mixture of
body sculpting movements with easy to follow dance steps.
Zumba is a Latin-music based cardio workout on steroids!
It's more than exercise; it's about creating a place, where
for one hour a day, we can go to sweat, dance, have fun and
be silly.
It's about forming a common bond, a sisterhood or
brotherhood of sorts, where we don't compete and we don't
judge. For that one hour we're all equal, we're all beautiful
and we're all strong.
Zumba changes lives. Join us and you'll never look back.
Zumba History
Celebrity fitness trainer, Beto Perez, developed
Zumba fitness in his native country, Colombia,
in the mid 90s. One day, he walked into his
class and realized he had forgotten his
aerobics music. His only option was his own
tapes in his car, traditional Latin salsa and
merengue music with which he had been
raised.
It was a challenge to improvise a class on the
spot using non-traditional aerobics music. Beto
rose to the challenge and from this last-minute
improvisation was born a revolutionary fitness
program—Zumba! The class soon became the
most popular class at his fitness facility and
spread like fire across the globe.
