MEET BETO AND YOUR NEW TRAINER

In 1999, Alberto “Beto” Perez created Zumba® by accident while improvising an aerobics class around the only music he had, a cassette of Latin hits. Fast forward ten years and Zumba® is in over 180 countries with more than 15 million participants!

Your training, whether live in-person, live online, or on-demand will be led by a Zumba® Education Specialist (ZES™) - one of the world's best Zumba® instructors. Every single ZES™ has been hand-picked by Beto for their talent and extensive dance-fitness experience.

Our ZES's go through a comprehensive training and certification process and have the tools to prepare you to rock your classes with confidence. And with round the clock materials and support, it’s your direct line to Beto himself.
