Zumba: A Dance that Puts Fun in Fitness樂趣無窮的尊巴健身舞蹈

【摘要2020.4.6.蘋果】

Zumba is an exercise trend that’s popular around the world. Mixing dance with exciting Latin music, it was created in the 1990s by a Columbian man named Beto Perez. Perez usually played American pop songs during his classes.

However, before one class in 1986, Perez left his regular music tape at home. So, he used a tape of Latin songs that he had with him instead. The music was faster, so Perez had to adjust the usual dance moves to match the new songs.

尊巴是一種在世界各地都很受歡迎的運動風潮。混和了舞蹈與激昂拉丁樂曲的尊巴是於 1990 年代、由一位名為貝托•培瑞茲的哥倫比亞男子所創立。培瑞茲上課時通常會播放美國流行歌曲。

然而在 1986 年某堂課上課前，培瑞茲把他經常用的音樂帶遺忘在家裡。因此，他改用了帶在身邊的一捲拉丁歌曲錄音帶。裡面音樂的節奏比較快，所以培瑞茲必須調整平常的舞步來配合這些新歌。
