The Lowdown

Zumba in London is a unique way to dance yourself into shape. Take some classic Latin American dance steps, add music created by Grammy Award-winning producers and you have a keep-fit phenomenon. Since Alberto Perez inadvertently created Zumba in 2001, it has grown to become a worldwide sensation with people in over 125 countries regularly enjoying a Zumba workout.

One day Perez brought the wrong music to teach an aerobics class in his native Colombia, and after seeing the results of playing salsa and merengue to eager exercisers, he never looked back. Performing high energy dance routines to the upbeat music is what Zumba is all about - making a Zumba class more like a party than a workout. 

The Crowd

Let’s face it, going to the gym can be a real grind and the best form of exercise is doing something you enjoy. It’s almost impossible to go through a Zumba class without a smile on your face. Such is the energy of a Zumba workout, you’ll be losing pounds, gaining new dance steps and making new friends all at once. Who isn't up for that?

The Cost

Zumba classes are pretty cheap and usually run at around £10, but of course, with your TasterLab taster - you can try it out for even less.
