In his new video series and in your Zumba classes, you'll hear a little of country music, funk, and rock and roll, (of course you'll still hear your favorite Latin music). Adding a variety of world influences, including Indian harmonies, Latin beats and the thick bass of African Reggaetone to the mix, offers something for everyone.

He was perplexed as to what to do. He ran back to his car and grabbed his own music on tapes from his personal collection. The music and songs were based on what he had been listening to his entire life.
A blend of international and Latin songs -- but the challenge was to create a one hour long workout from this collection. As a result a revolutionary cardio fitness program was created.
