How are our Zumba Caribe classes different?

Zumba Caribe classwill focus on original folklore and Culture from Colombia with rhythms of the Caribbean nations and many Afro-Caribbean rhythms that are not performed in a conventional Zumba Class. This isn't 'just' about fitness, its also about flavour! We believe good Zumba instructors should also be able to dance the above 'Latin dances'. Although you don't need to be a dance expert to get fitness benefits of Zumba, but by having that extra flavour, you get a 'real' taste of what Zumba should be like, (compared to a regular fitness instructor).
