Zumba Fitness: World Party is the latest entry in the Zumba Fitness series of dance and fitness games, it is also the franchise's first 'next-gen' edition. As in previous games in the series, players replicate the dance moves made by the dance characters in the game, the idea being to get fit but do so in a more enjoyable way than traditional exercise routines.
As the name implies, the series is inspired by the Zumba dance fitness system, created by the Colombian dancer Alberto Perez. It combines a number of different active dance styles with aerobic fitness.
