Zumba - The Heart and Soul

The Heart and Soul of Zumba®

Many are surprised by the success of Zumba® Fitness worldwide.  With over 10 million people attending Zumba® classes every week, in over 90,000 locations across 110 countries, many wonder why it is so successful.  Beyond Alberto "Beto" Perez's amazing story (the founder of Zumba®) of coming to the United States from Colombia (his native country) with nothing more than a dream and a vision, the formula is primitively simple yet rarely found.

Zumba® grabs the essence of the Latin and African Soul, combines it with Music, Dance, Fitness and a party atmosphere.  This combination creates heart pulsing, exciting, passionate energy that entices the body to move, live and breathe to the hypnotic experience known as Zumba®.  Zumba® Instructors exude the excitement and spirit of the human essence known since the beginning of music and rhythm.  This primitive energy makes the body pulse with excitement and energy.

Combine this with the traditional warmth, passion and loving spirit of the Latin and African cultures, and you have magic.  Spread this magical "spice of life" across the globe and you create an insatiable appetite to live, thrive and be a part of the addictive energy of music, dance, peace and tradition that is called the Zumba® family.  All cultures and People from all over the globe have historically enjoyed musical festivity by creating the spirit of zest and passion around their families and communities.  Hand in hand, throughout the ages, people have always embraced this spirit.  United we have created an essence of goodwill when we bring cultures and people together to celebrate who we are.

Zumba® captures this ancient part of the human spirit of belonging and sharing that many of us have either never or rarely experienced due to our busy, fast paced lifestyles.  This unique experience is the fuel that energizes the addiction and passion that is growing by leaps and bounds across the globe.  The magic is in the fact that Zumba® takes you into a world that time has forgotten while providing the health benefits of exercise and fitness.  The heart pounding workout is second to the overall experience.   Without realizing it, people burn hundreds of calories and tone their muscles leaving their Zumba® classes more energized than when they arrived and disappointed that their Zumba® class is over.  In the end, no matter how tired, everyone always wants more.

It is this experience that keeps people excited, passionate and wanting more every second of the day.   It is real, it is simple.  It has always been a part of us even before our first Zumba® experience.  The Zumba® journey rekindles what most of us miss need and long for.  In essence, it is the desire and passion to live, celebrate and share across all races, nationalities and traditions the human essence of joy and festivity that makes us uniquely human.
