More than just a fitness program, Zumba® has evolved into a global lifestyle that fuses fitness, entertainment and culture into an exhilarating dance-party workout. It has become the source of rejuvenation, passion, emotional healing, an outlet for creativity, and a social network for so many. It is not uncommon to hear stories like that of Jamee Kevern from Saratoga Springs, Utah, who through combination of natural birth and unexpected adoption is now the mother of nine children between ages 1 and 12. Invited by a friend to her first Zumba® class, Jamee—now a licensed Zumba instructor—quickly reconnected with her passion for dance and found a fun way to enjoy a more balanced and healthy lifestyle. On her Facebook profile she posts, “Something I didn’t expect has been the amazing friendships being formed by the ladies in my class. You don’t need experience you just need to show up and feel the music.”

Others, like Hettie Hansen, a local Zumba® instructor in Utah Valley, boast of weight loss success stories and solutions to problems. “First of all let me just say how much Zumba fitness has changed my life. It is so hard and frustrating trying to lose weight, and nothing has ever worked for me. Everything felt like boot camp and was just not fun…I went to my first Zumba Fitness class  and fell in love with it! It is so much fun and it really is your very own therapy session. It gets rid of any of your problems, for way cheap, haha! I have lost 80 lbs so far and now as an instructor, I could not be happier!…Now I have a Zumba family and the greatest friends that I have ever had. I love all of them! So ditch the workout and JOIN THE PARTY!!”

Founded in 2001, Zumba® Fitness is now the largest branded fitness program in the world, with more than 12 million weekly class participants in over 110,000 locations across more than 125 countries. In Utah alone there are approximately 1,000 certified Zumba® instructors, many of which teach multiple classes per day throughout the state of Utah.

The unique music blend found in Zumba® Fitness classes is its special motivational ingredient. The program blends red-hot international music, created by Grammy-winning producers, with contagious choreography from dance styles including: salsa, merengue, cumbia, samba, belly dance, bhangra, hip-hop and other world rhythms. Songs are created with specific beat and tempo changes to seamlessly transition throughout the workout to encompass toning, strength, and cardio—targeting every major muscle group in the body.

You Should Be Dancing! 2012, co-founded by licensed Zumba® instructors Christian Weibell and Jackie Brinkerhoff of Lindon, Utah, is bringing together Zumba® instructors from around the state of Utah, owners and managers of fitness centers and studios that host Zumba® classes, Zumba® class participants, and members of the general public community who have not yet had a chance to experience a Zumba® Fitness class.

The all-day event will kick off with morning sunrise yoga at 7:00am and vendor and exhibitor booths that will remain open throughout the day. At 10:00am a special master class will be led by international Zumba® celebrity Kass Martin, star of the Zumba® Fitness 2 videogame for Wii and Zumba Fitness Rush. She is recognized worldwide as a leading fitness expert, with appearances on NBC’s “Today” show, “The Biggest Loser,” “The Martha Stewart Show,” “The View” and QVC.

A variety of 30-minute Zumba® basic and specialty sampler classes will be taught throughout the day, including classes for kids age 6-12 and for men and women looking for a fitness option that is soft on the joints and easy on the body. The culminating activity of the event will be a large dance fitness concert, 7:00pm to 11:00pm, led from a raised stage  by approximately 50 licensed Utah Zumba® instructors in the main arena of the UCCU Event Center, giving participants a chance to experience styles and flavor from around the state of Utah.
