Zumba-doesn’t it sound like an African word and that too a form of African dance?

Well, it looks a dance indeed from the video below but not exactly. It is an aerobic fitness session disguised (wisely so) in the form of dance with music that makes you dance automatically.

Zumba is a cardio-fitness regime based on Latin rhythms developed by a former aerobics instructor Alberto Perez from Colombia. A Zumba class would span several Latin dance styles including Mambo, Salsa, Cumbia and Merengue. Another unique feature of a Zumba class is its party atmosphere unlike a typical aerobics class.
