Master Classes
As Beto himself describes it, a Zumba® Master Class is "a class that is much more than just the usual 'weekly' class. There must be something much more phenomenal about the class that makes it special or unique." These classes are led by a special guest instructor or group of instructors and for a special reason. The special reason for these classes is clear — Convention! Zumba Fitness is proud to offer this year's attendees an awesome selection of Master Classes led by some very exceptional instructors. They're not to be missed.
