By now you must have heard the name: Zumba<\/strong>. It sounds\u2026 exotic, doesn\u2019t it? Well, that\u2019s because it is. Zumba<\/strong> is a form of dance fitness created in the 1990\u2019s by a Colombian choreographer and dancer named Beto Perez. Beto had forgotten his tape of aerobics music and had to teach a class by improvising with salsa and merengue \u2013 he didn\u2019t know it yet, but by the end of the class, but he had accidentally created an incredibly popular form of exercise that would rise to mainstream prominence in the following two decades.<\/p>\n

\"zumbaEvery week, around 15 million people take Zumba<\/strong> classes all around the world. That\u2019s a lot, isn\u2019t it? Its spread was made possible because despite Zumba<\/strong> being a registered trademark, Zumba Fitness, the owner of the program, does not charge licensing fees to gyms or fitness centers. Contagious music and fun exercise did the rest, with the current tendency being for it to become even more popular.<\/p>\n
