Latin America's latest dance craze is so infectious you won't even notice you're exercising.
Zumba, the fitness dance craze that has taken the US by storm and is now poised to take over the UK in an unstoppable rip tide of wild abandoned enthusiasm. It all started simply enough in Colombia in the Nineties when aerobics teacher Beto Perez forgot his usual music and had to improvise around the music he had in his car – traditional Latin salsa and merengue. The class was a huge success and Perez realised he was onto something, merging aerobics with dance to a lilting Latin beat. He moved to the US and the Zumba bid for world domination began. There are now more than 20,000 instructors teaching Zumba in 35 countries, including four hundred in the UK.
The principle behind Zumba is incredibly simple: get fit, have fun. That’s it. There are no complicated moves to learn and you don’t need the co-ordination of a standard aerobics class – or the partner you’d require for a traditional salsa class. Best of all, the music is so infectious that you barely even notice you’re exercising. It is easy to follow so people don’t have to think too much about what they’re doing and can just get into it. The music makes you want to dance, Its like a party.
A standard one-hour class uses four basic rhythms based on simplified versions of salsa, merengue, cumbia and reggaeton (mixed up with a bit of mambo, flamenco, rumba and calypso). It’s a cardio-based workout which also helps tone and sculpt the body,It’s a great way to lose weight, increase strength and co-ordination, and to foster self-esteem and pure happiness. That is why so many people love it and get addicted to it.....Dont resist it just join the party!!
