About Zumba

Zumba is a Latin-inspired dance fitness program created in Colombia in the 1990s and now practiced by millions of people in over 180 countries, making it one of the most successful group fitness phenomena in history. Combining easy-to-follow choreography with the infectious energy of Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Reggaeton, Samba, and other Latin and global music styles, Zumba delivers an effective cardiovascular and full-body workout that feels like a joyful dance party rather than exercise. No dance experience is required — moves are straightforward and participants are encouraged to find their own expression within the choreography. Specialized Zumba formats include Zumba Gold for active older adults, Zumba Kids, Zumba Toning with light weights, and Aqua Zumba. A typical one-hour class burns 300 to 600 calories while improving mood, coordination, and social connection simultaneously. Classes are widely available at studios, gyms, community centers, and senior facilities across the United States. Find a Zumba class near you today.
