● Zumba's most well-known
and popular program is its
namesake
●This dance class features
high- and low-intensity
intervals that help
improve cardiovascular
fitness while also
enhancing balance,
coordination, agility, and to
some degree, strength
through the application of
beginner-accessible
choreography.

special dance skills to succeed in Zumba

be an intense and efficient calorie-burning
workout that is adaptable and suitable for all
different ages, body types and levels of
fitness.

Who want to read the first bullet? (Student raise their hands)

Yes________. Please stand up History of Zumba

Zumba was created by the
choreographer and fitness
instructor Alberto “Beto”
Perez in the mid-1990s.
According to the official
Zumba website, it was a
result of a “happy accident” –
Beto was on his way to teach
an aerobics class and realized
he’d forgotten his music. He
didn’t have time to double
back and get it, so he
improvised, using the salsa
and merengue tapes he
happened to have on him.
Instead of strict rep-counting,
he ended up improvising a
class that was the perfect mix
of dance and aerobics that
kept his students moving and
having fun!

(Student raise their hands)

In 2001, he started teaching

his hybrid dance/aerobics in
Miami, and through another
“happy accident”, he got in
touch with two other
Albertos – Alberto Perlman
and Alberto Aghion.
Together, they called the
new style “Zumba”, a word
that doesn’t have any specific
meaning but has become
synonymous with this great
combination of fitness and
fun, and brought it to fitness

dance exercise with a Latin influence that,
according to instructors, is mostly an aerobic
one and is all about having fun. Around the
world, fitness enthusiasts continue to turn to
this dance workout, which has an appearance
and sound more akin to a dance party.
Zumba is a cardio and Latin-inspired
dance fitness program. It was founded in
2001 by Colombian dancer and
choreographer Beto Pérez, and it now has
200,000 locations in 180 countries, with
15 million people taking classes weekly.

How did Zumba reach the
Okay ________ please stand up
Philippines?

Following its rising popularity

in several continents during
its early years, Zumba was
first introduced in the
Philippines in 2011 through
Emma Satchell, who has
been dubbed as the country’s
Zumba Queen.

Satchell became a licensed

Sumba instructor after she
attended classes in the U.S.
conducted by Berto Perez’s
assistant, Kho Herlong in
2007.

Thank you ________, She started teaching

Zumba in the country in Manila and Cebu and
held classes in parks and public places. While
she initially got skeptical reactions from the
passersby, Satchell was determined enough to
promote the program in the country and
continued to do it in more places until it
reached gyms that now offer Zumba classes.
While she knew that not everyone could
afford gym membership, Satchell continued to
offer free classes in barangays and malls,
drawing more people to try out the fitness
program. During its early years, Zumba
gained popularity across several
 continents. Emma Satchell, known as the
Zumba Queen of the Philippines,
introduced the dance to the country for the
first time in 2011.

To continue let's get to know who Alberto

Perez really is, Alberto "Beto" Pérez (born 15
March 1970), is a Colombian dancer,
choreographer, businessman, and Zumba
instructor. He created the exercise fitness
program Zumba in the late 1990s which
involves dance and aerobic exercise elements
with accompanying music, specifically Latin,
and associated martial arts moves, squats,
lunges, and other aerobic techniques.

your body. Point your toes, keeping the
rest of the foot off of the ground.

3. Twist your hips and bring your left foot
