🔥 What Are the Benefits of Zumba?

Zumba is more than just a workout—it’s an experience that benefits both your body and mind:

Burns calories while having fun – The fast-paced routines keep you moving and energized.
Improves coordination & rhythm – Learn to move to the beat while building balance and agility.
Boosts endurance – Cardio-based dancing helps increase stamina.
Elevates your mood – The lively music and movements create an uplifting and motivating workout.


💃 Master the Zumba Movements

Each Zumba class follows an immersive choreography system, designed to keep you moving fluidly from one routine to the next.

Follow the trainer’s moves – The goal is to match the trainer’s movements as accurately as possible.
Use the Move Preview – This helps you anticipate upcoming moves and stay in sync.
Watch the rotating ring – The ring under the trainer changes color to indicate a new move and shows how long each move will last.

💡 Let the music guide you! The more you relax and enjoy the rhythm, the better your performance will be!


🎯 How Do I Score Move Points (MP) in Zumba?

In Zumba, your score is based on a star rating system, which determines how many Move Points (MP) you earn for each move.

Perform each move accurately – The stars above the trainer will indicate how well you are doing.
Higher star ratings = more Move Points – Each move you complete earns MP based on your rating:

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 Stars – Perfect!) Maximum MP earned

  • ⭐⭐⭐ (3 Stars – Great!) High MP boost

  • ⭐⭐ (2 Stars – Good!) Moderate MP boost

  • (1 Star – Needs Improvement) Lower MP boost
    Earn enough stars to unlock a Zumba Celebration! – These moments highlight your progress and keep the energy high.
    Compete on the leaderboard – Check the leaderboard by your feet to see how you rank against other players.

At the end of your workout, you’ll see:
✔ Your final star rating.
✔ Your total Move Points earned.
✔ Your calories burned.
✔ Your leaderboard position if competing with others.


💡 Pro Tip: Keep your movements fluid, stay on beat, and follow the Move Preview to anticipate upcoming steps—this will help you earn more stars and maximize your Move Points!
