Usually, a 60-minute Zumba fitness class is divided into several stages with different rhythm intensity, so that athletes can fully experience the happiness, excitement and romance of Latin dance, and even people without any dance foundation can relax and have fun.

In order to better integrate into South American culture, it is recommended to wear a loose and brightly colored sports coat when doing Zumba. Bright colors can play a good psychological suggestion role in Zumba dance. It is best to wear soft-soled flat-heeled sneakers when exercising.

The development of history

Beto Perez, a famous fitness coach in Rumbia, walked into the gym and was preparing for class. He suddenly realized that he had forgotten to bring fitness music. In desperation, Perez grabbed several tapes from the car, all of which were very traditional Latin music and dance music. In class, Perez crustily skin of head improvises his movements according to the music beat. Unexpectedly, this rescue made Zumba the most popular sport in Perez Gym.
