Dreamed up by Beto Perez, a Columbian dance teacher who arrived in the United States in with little money and no English, Zumba Fitness has become an international phenomenon. Later this year, a giant Zumba class is to be given on the White House lawn. Here, we take a look at its amazing growth.
Perez is approached by aspiring entrepreneurs Alberto Perlman and Alberto Aghion to create a global company based on his fitness philosophy. Perlman and Aghion secure a deal with an infomercial company.
Their initial success prompts a demand for more Zumba instructors, so they create an instructor training program. In , Zumba was named "Company of the Year," by Inc. In , Alberto " Beto" Perez was teaching an aerobics class and forgot his music at home. He had to use whatever he had, which happened to be a fun dance mix incorporating a variety of dance moves, including hip-hop, salsa, martial arts and even Bollywood style. In , he moved from Colombia to the United States and continued to teach.
Perlman became intrigued when his mother told him that the instructor had a way of integrating "the Saturday night feel" into an exercise class. When Perlman visited his first Zumba class, it wasn't called Zumba yet and there were " people packed in like sardines," he told Leigh Buchanan at Inc.
The year-old Perlman thought that he and his childhood friend Alberto Aghion could start a company that provided infomercials and that Zumba could be their first featured product. So Perlman and Aghion teamed up with Perez to create a demo tape and license the brand to sell on infomercials. Perlman told us it wasn't long before people from all over the country started calling the call center — which mostly went directly to Aghion's cell phone at the time — to inquire about getting more involved with Zumba.
And they didn't just want the tapes — they wanted to go to a class or become an instructor. Given the popularity of their line of taped Zumba workouts, they decided to create a training course called the "Zumba Academy" in Miami in Once certified, the instructors could teach their own classes, sell Zumba attire and CDs to their students.
