What is Exercise to Music?
In its purist form, ETM is a group workout class led by a qualified ETM instructor in time to music. However, in the 21st century, the ETM class is much more than this simple definition. It’s a fun, exciting and time-efficient workout that pushes the body and challenges the mind.
Overview
Grooving to the beats of salsa, flamenco, and merengue music feels more like a dance party than a workout, which is exactly what makes Zumba so popular. The Latin-inspired dance workout is one of the most popular group exercise classes in the world.
