A Latin superstar just crashed a Zumba class at a gym in a Kendall strip mall
A few folks who decided to get off the couch and exercise in the Miami ’burbs got quite the payoff Monday evening.
That’s because Latin pop superstar Prince Royce decided to crash a Zumba class at Eos Fitness at the Town and Country mall.
The “Incondicional” singer didn’t just make an appearance, he took over teaching duties, to a few of his latest songs, including “Dancing in the Moonlight.” The Latin Grammy winner, 36, also chatted with attendees and took selfies.
In video seen on Only in Dade’s Instagram, Royce is at the front of the room swaying to the beat and clapping his hands along with the beyond-enthusiastic participants.
So what was Prince Royce doing at a strip mall gym in Kendall on the first day of the workweek? The Bronx native, who released the album “Eterno” in May, isn’t just a workout buff. He’s jumping on a trend of top Latin artists making cameos at Zumba classes to get their music out to a larger audience.
“We love working with artists to celebrate their newest song releases, and Zumba is a fun and unique platform,” said Rebecca Dorfman, VP of consumer marketing of the dance fitness company founded in Miami by Colombian dancer Beto Perez in the late ‘90s.
Just last week, Wisin, too, surprised a class at City Zero gym Little Havana, as seen on Zumba’s official Instagram page. The 46-year-old reggaetonero is seen outside telling followers, “Let’s go!” as his latest song, “El Proceso” plays.
“The only place to feel @wisin’s new track like this? A Zumba class,” says the post. “We’re turning up the heat with our latest #summeranthem — the Zumba way.”
