HISTORY
Celebrity fitness trainer, "Beto" Perez, stumbled upon the concept of Latin inspired fitness in his native country of Colombia (South America) in the mid 1990's. One day, he walked into his class and realized that he had forgotten his aerobics music, and his only option was to grab whatever tapes he had in his car. Beto’s tapes were comprised of the songs that he loved, the traditional Latin salsa and merengue music with which he had been raised. 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 was born a revolutionary fitness program – Zumba! The class soon became the most popular class at his fitness facility.

Zumba combines high energy and rousing music with exclusive moves that allow the Zumba participants to dance away their concerns and the inches from their waist. Zumba is a fun workout and is great for the body as well as the mind.  
Zumba is a fitness dance craze and has people doing cha-cha, salsa, mambo and meringue type moves. The classes last one hour and you can see the sweat pouring down as the heart speeds up from the jumping, shaking and dancing. Watch the smiles, the laughter and the friendship!
