Zumba persuasive speech

Well Zumba is a Latin-dance inspired workout that features salsa, merengue, hip-hop, cumbia, mambo, flamenco, cha cha cha, reggaeton, soca, samba, and tango music. Songs by many popular singers are featured such as Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez, as well as some not so well know artists.

Zumba was created by accident when in 1986 Colombian-born aerobics teacher Alberto “Beto” Perez accidentally forgot his usual music tape at home. He decided to use a mix tape he personally liked to dance to that was full of salsa and meringue music. It was a hit! “Everybody loved it!” says Perez.
