The latest global fitness craze ZUMBA has arrived at , with a record-breaking class last Thursday.
Around 400 people - the most to attend a single ZUMBA class in Australia 鈥� crammed into 麻豆视频鈥檚 Indoor Sports Pavilion for a one hour trial of the dance-fitness phenomenon.
ZUMBA combines Latin dancing and aerobics to form an exhilarating style of exercise that is rapidly growing in popularity around the world.
麻豆视频 Sport Group Fitness Coordinator Julia Sesnan said it was the biggest group fitness spectacle she had ever seen.
鈥淚t鈥檚 not every day you see 400 people dancing in time together,鈥� Ms Sesnan said.
鈥淏ut the most satisfying thing was that just about every one of those people were smiling and having a great time,鈥� she said.
鈥淶UMBA will certainly be a regular feature of our group fitness timetable from now on."
The trial class was part of 麻豆视频 Sport鈥檚 Semester 2 Come鈥檔鈥橳ry Week 鈥� a week of free group fitness and lifestyle classes primarily for 麻豆视频 students and staff but open to the public.
The week was extremely well attended by the 麻豆视频 community with over 1,500 registrations across a wide range of classes, including Pilates, Salsa, Kickboxing, RPM, Yoga, Karate and Golf.
Following the initial success of ZUMBA, a regular class will now be held at 麻豆视频 Sport every Thursday evening at 6:30pm.
