ZUMBA
Zumba is a dance fitness program created by Colombian dancer and choreographer Alberto "Beto" Perez during the 1990s.
As the story goes, in the early 1990’s, Mr. Perez was teaching one of his popular aerobics music classes and went out to his car. The Columbian choreographer began listening to a bit of Salsa and Merengue infused music. After enjoying the beat of the Latin-inspired music, Alberto “Beta” Perez improvised the class that would later evolve into Zumba.
Although this exercise method draws its roots from just the early 90’s, it has since grown by leaps and bounds. Zumba gained significant popularity in Columbia, but wasn’t brought to the rest of the world until the year 2001. Alberto Perez teamed up with his business partner and the Zumba cofounder Alberto Perlman, as well as childhood friend Alberto Aghion to create the very first demo reel. The dance aerobics program was then quickly snatched up by the corporation Fitness Quest.
Once the original home video course was released, Zumba took off and never looked back. As a more exciting and entertaining form of exercise, larger and larger classes began making their mark on the fitness landscape. With more and more dance influence, the exercise program soon became the preference of people across the US, Latin America, and the rest of the world.
