Zumba® Fitness:The International Fitness Phenomenon that feels more like a Party than a Workout!
Zumba® was created in the 1990's by Beto Perez, a Miami based dancer, choreographer and celebrity fitness trainer to international superstars.
"Beto" stumbled upon the concept of Latin-inspired dance-fitness in his native Cali, Colombia in the mid-‘90s.
One day, he walked into his aerobics class and realized he had forgotten his aerobics music. Thinking quickly, he grabbed whatever tapes he had in his backpack. Beto's tapes were comprised of songs he loved, the traditional Latin salsa and merengue music he listened to all his life. But it was a challenge to improvise a whole class on the spot using non-traditional aerobics music. Beto rose to the challenge and from this last-minute improvisation a revolutionary new concept in fitness was born – the Zumba® Fitness-Party™! The class soon became the most popular class at his fitness facility.
