Beto Pérez

Alberto "Beto" Pérez (born 15 March 1970) is a Colombian dancer, choreographer, businessman, and Zumba instructor.

After he won a national lambada contest in Colombia, he was accepted to one of Cali's best academies to study dance while he taught step aerobics in return.

In 2001, Beto asked Williams Island fitness director (Brenda Anderson) to take a chance on promoting his dance routines in a class at the center.

Reportedly some 14 million people in more than 160,000 locations in 185 countries are Zumba practitioners and dance and sing to fun music mainly provided by the company.
