Description
Zumba is a cardio/dance fitness program that features a variety of international music for one hour of aerobic exercise. Students will experience everything from salsa and merengue to belly dance and Bollywood. Each class incorporates the concept of interval training by alternating fast and slow rhythms and includes a stretch and cool down. This is an all-levels class and NO DANCE knowledge or experience is required. The only requirements are sneakers, a smile and a bottle of water and a towel. Students are encouraged to participate comfortably at their own pace and level—wherever they may be on their fitness journey. According to the Mayo Clinic: “aerobic exercise reduces health risks, strengthens your heart and boosts your mood”. It’s a simple formula: feel the music, have fun and dance.
