Like a salsa-infused time warp, Zumba has transported countless individuals into its vibrant embrace, transcending cultural boundaries and physical limitations. I, for one, have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of this dance phenomenon.
The Roots of RhythmZumba originated in Colombia in the 1990s, when Alberto "Beto" Perez, an aerobics instructor, accidentally used a mix of dance and Latin music in his class. The infectious beats and energetic movements quickly caught on, giving birth to a global dance sensation.
Today, Zumba has become a global phenomenon, practiced by millions in over 180 countries. Its popularity stems from its infectious rhythms, energetic choreography, and the sense of community it fosters.
