The Zumba World Record Has Been Set

Zumba has taken the world by storm in the past year. Everyone is talking about it, it’s mentioned on the news at least once a week and you can find it offered at just about any gym you visit. Zumba has reached critical mass and for good reason. It’s tons of fun!

If you don’t know what Zumba is, it’s a cardio workout which combines the dancing styles of salsa, merengue, mambo, hip-hop and belly dancing.

The people of Columbia, South Carolina seem to enjoy Zumba so much that they decided to go for the world record of the largest Zumba class ever. Approximately 1,200 people showed up to the class at the University of South Carolina, which crushes the old Guinness World Record previously set at 900 people.
