Source notes
These links keep the page's evidence visible. Local class details describe access and teaching; they are not presented as global rankings or a single origin story.
The visible Vilnius schedule offers a free first trial, one-hour classes, private lessons, and multiple age/level tracks across these styles.
Boundary: Current local availability and access details; prices and timetables need a date when published.
The Vilnius provider describes 50-minute Latin-inspired Zumba using salsa, cumbia, merengue, reggaeton, and world music, open to beginners and advanced participants.
Boundary: Intensity and 300–500 kcal figures are provider marketing estimates, not independent measurements.
The short version
Salsa, cumbia, merengue, reggaeton and world music are the clearest source-named music families; the class prioritises participation over a dance canon.
Vilnius access is documented through Dancefit and Žvaigždžių Takas; Zumba also travels through gyms and community classes globally.
Group classes, instructor conventions and community fitness events are the relevant formats; there is no meaningful global competition ranking here.
Zumba is globally distributed and branded; the read sources support Vilnius as a local access example rather than one origin city.
Name the parent rhythms and keep intensity claims attributed to the provider. Zumba is a participatory fitness culture, not a single folk tradition.
