The Zumba® Gold Fitness program is second to none. It is an innovative, fun, and exciting program. It was designed for the active older adult, the true beginner, and/ or people who are not used to exercising, or people who may be limited physically. The main difference between Zumba Gold and Zumba Basic is Zumba Gold is done at a lower intensity, not as fast, but it certainly is as fun. The same great Latin styles of music and dance are used.
