Zumba is the world’s biggest branded fitness dance programme and it is probably happening at a gym or community centre near you. Founded in 2001 in Miami it has 14 million weekly participants in more than 150 countries.

So what is Zumba’s secret? It’s inclusive and it’s fun and it doesn’t matter if you can dance or not. Nobody is judging you!! Anyone, regardless of age, fitness or natural rhythm, can handle a Zumba class. I have seen a family of three generations taking the same Zumba class!

Zumba Fitness is a Latin-inspired cardio-dance workout that uses music and choreographed steps to form a fitness party atmosphere. While many of the types of dance and music featured in the program are Latin American inspired, classes can also contain everything from jazz to African beats to country to hip-hop and pop. It is a party atmosphere fitness and you will lose the pounds without even realising it.
