Zumba Fitness was created in the mid-90’s by Colombian native Alberto “Beto” Perez, a celebrity fitness trainer and choreographer for International pop superstars. Inspired by the traditional cumbia, salsa, samba and merengue music he grew up with, Beto paired his favorite pulsating Latin rhythms with the red-hot international dance steps his clients loved and Zumba® Fitness (Spanish slang for “to move fast and have fun”) was born!

Since Beto brought Zumba® Fitness to the US in 1999, it has become one of the fastest-growing, dance-based fitness crazes in the country, with people of all ages falling in love with its infectious music, easy-to-follow dance moves, and body-beautifying benefits.

Cindy Hoskins at The Fitness Center at nearby Ocean Isle Beach, NC has had to increase the number of classes. They now offer Zumba classes at different levels from beginners on up.

Zumba is not only a great way to burn a lot of calories but it is soooo much FUN! The best way to describe the class is it’s jazzercise in the new millenium or a latin inspired dance class.
