He had to use his employer’s chosen song list of hit US pop singles, including the likes of Madonna and Michael Jackson. But one day he mistakenly left the cassette at home. So he had to quickly think on his feet. “I had no choice but to use a mix-tape that I had in my car, and improvise from there,” says Beto. The class was an immediate hit. So he decided to stick with the Latin sounds and rhythms. From that start Beto eventually went on to launch his business Zumba Fitness. Today the Miami-based company is a household name with a reported 15 million people across 186 countries attending Zumba exercise classes every week. Source: BBC
