# Zumba > Zumba is the world's largest branded dance-fitness program, combining Latin and international music with easy-to-follow choreography to deliver a fun, calorie-burning workout experience available at 200,000+ locations across 189 countries. Zumba Fitness, LLC was founded in 2001 by Alberto "Beto" Perez, Alberto Perlman, and Alberto Aghion and is headquartered in Hallandale, Florida. Over 15 million people take Zumba classes weekly worldwide. The company offers in-person and virtual dance-fitness classes, instructor licensing and training programs, a mobile app with on-demand workouts (Zumba Virtual+), and branded apparel and footwear. Zumba choreography uses four basic rhythms (salsa, reggaeton, merengue, and cumbia) and features interval-style moves that blend low and high intensity for a total-body cardio workout. Zumba Fitness also operates STRONG Nation (a music-synced HIIT program), CIRCL Mobility (a flexibility and breathwork program), and Zumbini (a music and movement program for children ages 0 to 4 and their caregivers). The site is available in English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Korean, Indonesian, and Japanese. ## About - [Homepage](https://www.zumba.com/en-US/): Main landing page with class finder, instructor training promotions, app info, and facility hiring. - [About Zumba](https://www.zumba.com/en-US/about): Company overview, global community stats (189 countries, 15M+ weekly participants, 200K+ locations), and brand story. - [The Origins of Zumba](https://www.zumba.com/en-US/blog/the-origins-and-staying-power-of-zumba): History of how Zumba was created in Colombia in the 1990s and grew into a global fitness brand. ## Classes - [Find a Class](https://www.zumba.com/en-US/pages/class): Search for in-person Zumba classes by location, with descriptions of all class formats. - [Class Finder Map](https://www.zumba.com/en-US/party/nearMe): Interactive map to discover Zumba classes happening near you. - [Types of Zumba Classes](https://www.zumba.com/en-US/blog/different-types-of-zumba-classes): Overview of class formats including Zumba, Aqua Zumba, Zumba Gold (active older adults), Zumba Kids (ages 4 to 11), Zumba Toning (strength with toning sticks), and Zumba Step (step aerobics fusion). - [CIRCL Mobility](https://www.zumba.com/en-US/circl-mobility): Flexibility, breathwork, and mobility program based on functional movement science, available in 30- and 60-minute formats. ## Instructor Training - [Become a Zumba Instructor](https://www.zumba.com/en-US/become-a-zumba-instructor): How to get licensed (in-person, livestream, or on-demand training), pricing, earnings calculator, and 30-day money-back guarantee. - [All Trainings](https://www.zumba.com/en-US/trainings): Full catalog of intro trainings (Basic 1, Dual License for Kids or Gold, Zumbini) and specialty trainings (Zumba + Lift, CIRCL Mobility, Kids + Kids Jr., Gold, Toning, Step, Aqua Zumba, Sentao, Rhythms 2, Rhythms 3, Pro Skills, Virtual Pro). - [Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN)](https://www.zumba.com/en-US/join-zin): Monthly membership for licensed instructors providing indefinite teaching license, monthly music and choreography, marketing tools, and community support. - [ZIN Member Benefits](https://www.zumba.com/en-US/member-benefits): Detailed breakdown of ZIN membership perks including My First Class teaching kit, ClassBuzz marketing app, class management suite, job board, ZIN Now digital platform, and ZIN Play app. - [ZIN Jam Sessions](https://www.zumba.com/en-US/zin_jams): Skill-building sessions for instructors including Stylistic, Choreo, Rhythm, Specialty, and Mini Jam formats. - [Instructor Training FAQ](https://www.zumba.com/en-US/faq/instructor): Common questions about licensing requirements, prerequisites (18+, or 15 to 17 with parental consent), training formats, and career info. ## App and Virtual - [Zumba App and Virtual+](https://www.zumba.com/en-US/app-subscription): On-demand streaming subscription with unlimited Zumba classes, HIIT (STRONG Nation), strength training (Target Zones), mobility (CIRCL Mobility), rhythm tutorials, and dance breaks ranging from 3 to 50 minutes.
