Join the Party!!!

Can you sweat, have fun, and burn calories all at the same time? You can at a Zumba fitness class. Zumba is a dance based group fitness class, incorporating different Latin dance moves which are choreographed to Latin dance music. You can experience an aerobic workout, which integrates interval training through the different types of dance rhythms. But most importantly, you are doing all of this while at a party, a fitness dance party.

Zumba was created in the early 1990’s by Beto Perez, a group exercise instructor and Latin dance choreographer in Columbia. Perez moved to Miami in 2000 and decided to try and live the American Dream with his new fitness class. In 2001 Zumba Fitness, LLC was created and today Zumba is being taught worldwide and is the one of hottest fitness trends. In addition to Zumba, Zumba Fitness offers Zumba Gold for seniors, Zumbatomic for Kids, Zumba Toning, and Aqua Zumba. All of these class formats promote fitness, but most importantly, to have fun while doing it!

During a Zumba class you will work the whole the body: arms, legs, glutes, core and the heart! While Zumba is aerobic exercise, meaning you will burn calories and fat, it also incorporates toning movement without lifting weights. You don’t have to be a dancer or have any background in dance to participate in this high energy class. You just have to want to have fun and love a good party!
