Zumba - the new fitness craze?

Gerry Hi Candy. Our listeners are interested in learning about Zumba. It sounds like a fun way to keep fit. You use Latin American music, mainly salsa and merengue music, right?

Candy That’s the music Beto Perez started with, yes, but today we use music from all kinds of Latin American dance styles. You know cha-cha-cha, samba, tango?

Gerry Sure. Candy Well, we use that music, too. Some instructors also use reggae music, jazz and African beats or

country, hip-hop and pop. Gerry Wow. It sounds like a real party atmosphere. Candy Yes, it certainly is. Gerry Who goes to a Zumba class? I suppose it’s the young and the beautiful? Candy No, not at all. Everyone can join in. Zumba is for anyone who can stand up and dance. Gerry Well, not everyone can dance. I know I can’t dance. Candy Aw, come on. You don’t need any dance experience or skills. People of all ages, people of all shapes

and sizes come to classes. Everyone has a lot of fun.

Gerry Apart from all the fun, what are the health benefits of doing Zumba? Candy First of all, Zumba is a great cardio workout. Gerry Good for the heart, yes? Candy That’s right. Its main health benefit is strengthening the heart. It also strengthens the lungs, it

increases energy, it helps reduce stress and it helps people sleep well. Gerry I suppose after all that dancing, people get tired. How else will Zumba help me improve my health? Candy Well, Zumba burns calories, so it helps you lose weight. That’s Zumba’s second big health benefit.

You get slim and you stay slim with Zumba. And, last but not least, anyone who is feeling low won’t be feeling low for long. You’re in a room for one hour, in a happy atmosphere with people who are having a great time dancing to high-energy music.

Gerry I think you’re getting me hooked, Candy. You know what? I think I’ll give it a try. Can I join your class?

Candy Yes. That’s great, Gerry. Of course, you can join my class. I look forward to seeing you. (362 words, adapted from: Focus on success, Cornelsen, Berlin, 2019, transcript to listening p. 17.)
