P.S. Zumba is a dance based fitness format invented by Alberto Beto Perez by mistake. Yes you got it right.. it was by mistake that this sensational workout came into existence. Once Beto forgot to take his aerobics tapes to his class, the very next moment he picked up a Latin dance music cassette from his bag and taught his first Zumba class. Later Beto moved to Miami and thats where Zumba was born.
