What is Zumba?

Zumba has changed from a dance form to a fitness course in the southern American city of Miami. If South American dances such as salsa, reggae, Kumbia, samba, flamenco, cha-cha, tango are the products of mixed-race cultures, then Zumba may be the fitness form formed by the third fusion of these mixed-race cultures, because in a Zumba class, you can experience salsa and other South American "flavors" at the same time in stages. This may be the unique charm of Zumba: publicity, excitement and joy, without the sadness of traditional black music, only the dynamic of adolescence and various rhythms from South America, which can take you flying in 60 minutes.

The characteristics of Zumba.

Although it grew up on the south coast of the United States, Zumba's roots are deeply rooted in the sacred fertile soil of South America. The word Zumba comes from Colombia, which means "moving quickly with joy". This form of fitness combines the steps and rhythms of various South American dances, so the rhythm is particularly distinct and there is no impact. For many fitness enthusiasts, this form of fitness brings happiness and excitement without causing any unnecessary damage to joints. Zumba's dance steps are not very difficult, and you don't need any Latin dance foundation. There is no special requirement for the quality of dance steps, so cheerfulness is the most important thing. More importantly, in this cheerful process, bodybuilders can finally achieve the purpose of fitness and fat reduction.

Generally speaking, Zumba is a luxurious upgraded version of Latin fitness dance.
