San Ramon, CA 94583
Zumba® is exercise in disguise. The Zumba® program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow dance moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will blow you away. Basic salsa, cumbia, merengue, cha-cha, and reggaeton steps are combined in an easy cardio-based dance work out.

Recommended Attire: Best shoes to wear are court shoes or “aerobic shoes” that do not have a lot of tread at the bottom. Jazz sneakers or any old shoe where the bottom is worn is good so you can twist and turn easily.
