Bengaluru, November 22, 2025: Zumba Fitness delivered an unforgettable experience today as Beto Pérez, the creator of Zumba, brought his signature energy to Bengaluru during a high-intensity Zumba Master Class at Algorythm in Nexus Shantiniketan Mall. The event drew a vibrant and enthusiastic crowd of ZINs and Zumba lovers from across the country, all eager to dance with the person who transformed global fitness culture with the power of music and movement.
Participants began gathering at the venue from 5 pm onwards, filling the space with excitement as they prepared for a rare opportunity to learn from Beto in person. The session came to life the moment he stepped on stage, guiding the crowd with his trademark energy and presence that has shaped the global Zumba experience for years.
The event highlighted the deep connection between the Indian Zumba community and the global movement it represents. Instructors, long-time practitioners and first-time participants all came together to celebrate fitness in a setting filled with positivity and shared enthusiasm.
Demand for Zumba classes continues to soar in India and with it the demand for licensed instructors. Zumba has 14 Education Specialists across India, authorized to train new instructors. One such training is taking place on 23rd of November in Bengaluru and Beto will be joining as a guest – a rare opportunity for new instructors to learn the Zumba programme from the creator himself.
Speaking at the event, Beto Pérez, Co-Founder and Creator of Zumba, said, “Every time I meet the Zumba community in India, I feel the same passion and warmth that inspired the very beginning of this program. Today is a reminder that movement gives people a sense of freedom and joy that nothing else can replace. When we dance together, we create a space where fitness becomes a celebration and every person feels included. I am grateful to be here and to share this experience with so many people who bring incredible energy to the Zumba spirit.”
