What Is Zumba®?  The word "ZUMBA" is derived from a Colombian word meaning ”fast moving".  It’s also a fusion of the Latin word "rumba" meaning "party".  In other words Zumba® means" to move fast and have fun"!  Zumba® is the accidental brain child of celebrity fitness trainer Alberto "Beto" Perez.  Beto's vision came into fruition after forgetting his regular aerobics class music and having to rely on the music he'd grown up with, thus creating the world of Latin inspired fitness!  
 
The Classes:  I offer classes in Kernersville at the Shepherd Center, Zumba®Gold for the seniors. Connected with NCBH and Winston-Salem Urban League, I experience rewarding opportunities facilitating fun and healthy changes to people’s lives. The classes are full of fun, creating friends and safe workout moves just for the aging. There is a Zumba® class available for everyone. Participants in my classes are of many different ages, body types, backgrounds and fitness levels.

The Moves:  Zumba® combines low-impact, high energy dances movements, with intervals of fast and slow rhythms.  Depending upon your level of intensity, you'll burn between 300-1000 calories per class!  The dances are repetitive and very easy to follow, so everyone can do them.  Just remember to keep moving and most importantly to have fun!
