In the old days, it used to be the "Bus Stop" but has the Zumba style taken over as the new dance craze?
From what I understand, the "Bus Stop" was a disco dance created in the 70’s and Zumba dance is an aerobic dance program created in the 90’s. Zumba (pronounced zoom-buh) uses salsa, merengue, cumbia, reggaeton, calypso, soca, samba, African, cha cha, hip hop and other music.
It’s hard to compare the two, but while either one would be good for exercising to music, zumba sounds like a much more intense workout. They have classes for it here so yeah, I think it is still the new dance aerobic craze. I bet a lot of people under 30 never even heard of the "Bus Stop" as a dance. ; )
