Zumba
ZUMBA is a fusion of Latin and International music - dance themes that create a dynamic, exciting, and effective fitness system
It's different. You probably never thought you'd be exercising to this type of music, such as Salsa, Merengue, Belly dancing, Cumbia and Reggae, as well as Hip-Hop & Charleston, just to name a few.
· It's easy. You can start at any level and it's easier than any other program you've done before. No dance experience, no rhythm required.
· It's effective. It is an aerobic workout, which we all know works. But it's more fun, which makes you stick with the program.
