You've probably at least heard of it. Or maybe you've tried a class.
Zumba is a popular dance-fitness programand and kids have joined in too.
To Rachel Runsick, zumba class is a family affair.
"My mom teaches it, we practice together and my little sister and my big brother get to come," Rachel said.
Instructors adapt moves from the popular dance fitness program zumba for both younger and older kids.
Rachel, along with the other children, say they enjoy moving and grooving to the latin-inspired beats.
"We really try to make it as fun as possible so it can compete with video games and computers. We provide them the freedom to express themselves- they can go basically as crazy as they want in a structured environment," said Zumba instructor Ayanna Torres.
As for Rachel, she will look forward to next week.
