Hi and welcome to the Zumba Zone!
My name is Federico Bedoya. I am from Colombia, where Zumba began. I was the first Colombian Zumba instructor in Europe and each of my classes continue to be pure at heart.
​
In my country we love to party and we love to dance. Many of my friends and family are professional dancers so movement, music and rhythm are my way of life.
I grew up in Ibague, the music capital of Colombia and I was a gym instructor in Bogota for 10 years before coming to the UK. I used to work in the same gyms as the creators of Zumba….so a class with me is like immersing yourself in the roots of Zumba!
​
The reason I love Zumba is simple: I like to make people happy and healthy. You’ll see what I mean. This is not another gym work-out. It is a great way of keeping fit, but the essence is on FUN!
If you have never been to South America, I would like to bring a slice of South America to you.
