The name “Zumba” has no particular meaning, it was chosen arbitrarily as a brand name.
Zumba involves dance and aerobic movements performed to energetic music. The choreography incorporates hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue and mambo.
With over 180 Countries, 15 Million participating people in over 200,000 Locations, has made Zumba® classes a proven world-wide phenomenon and the perfect combo of fun and fitness.
Aruba currently has 8 registered locations on Zumba.com.
At Aruba Dance Studios we have Andrea Alonzo which is a licensed Zumba Instructor.
Zumba® is Perfect for everybody and every body! Each Zumba® class is designed to bring people together to sweat it on.
How it works
We take the “work” out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie-burning dance fitness party. Once the Latin and World rhythms take over, you’ll see why Zumba® Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise. Super effective? Check. Super fun? Check and check.
Benefits
A total workout, combining all elements of fitness – cardio, muscle conditioning, balance and flexibility, boosted energy and a serious dose of awesome each time you leave class.
