Florida, the Sunshine State, is a land where the sun shines brighter than a kid's eyes on Christmas morning. It's so hot even the alligators take a dip in the swimming pool to cool off. Okay, that doesn't happen very often, but you get the idea. It's a paradise of palm trees, funky flamingos and miles of sandy beaches. Now imagine this, in the heart of this tropical paradise, there’s a lively group of kids, known as the Zumba Zoomers! Led by Captain Zumba, a funky flamingo with the funkiest dance moves, these kids are full of energy, ready to dance their hearts out. Picture this, a flamingo wearing a neon headband, 80's style leg warmers, and grooving to the beat like there's no tomorrow. That’s Captain Zumba for you! Every day, under the golden Florida sun, kids from all corners of the state join the Captain in a whirlwind of laughter, music, and Zumba. They move like a pack of kangaroos on a trampoline, laughing and wiggling to the rhythm of the music. Captain Zumba's laughter rings loud and clear, echoing through the air and setting flamingos aflutter. From Miami to Orlando, kids of all ages, sizes, and dance levels come together to join this jiggy-jig-journey. They are like Florida oranges — some are a little sour, some sweet, but when you mix them up for Zumba, they make the tastiest, juiciest blend of fun. So if you ever find yourself in the Sunshine State, don't miss out on the party. Grab your dancing shoes, bring your energy drink, and join Captain Zumba and the Zumba Zoomers for a dance-a-thon under the Florida sun!
