Combating Obesity: GET MOVING!
The Zumba® program was created because of Beto’s passion for Latin music, exotic dance rhythms, & fitness. He felt that group fitness classes needed to be fun- with party-like, “no-thinking” elements – to make it appealing to the masses, not just for fit, coordinated participants. He wanted EVERYONE, of all fitness levels, to be able to participate in a class.
THE BEGINNING

What is the Zumba® Program?
