ZUMBA is a
phenomenal and worldwide –known fitness dance developed by Alberto “Beto” Perez,
a Columban choreographer and dance instructor. It is a combination originally
of a Latin American dances such as salsa, samba, mambo and aerobic movement
with energetic music, alternating the fast and slow rhythms. It is a
calorie-burning dance that brings people together regardless of their size,
race, generation, culture, and sexual orientation. It is a dance and aerobic
movements that boost energy and condition our muscles. ZUMBA dance has
choreography, but participants are welcome to modify and develop their own
steps and moves. For me, I understand ZUMBA as a Zealous (a dance
with Passion), Unifying
(a dance that Accepts one
another regardless of our races, generation, political convictions and sexual
orientation), Mending (a dance that Restores our being as created in the
image of God), Bonding (a dance that strengthens our Ties with one another, with other
creations and the ecosystem), and Acclaiming (a dance that sustains
our Young-looking
personality as we praise and worship the Lord). Thus, ZUMBA is a dance to God and with God, a PARTY dance or a dance of celebration with God. Amen.
