VIDEO: Zumba Fitness Dance-Off Comes Close to World Record

Zumba Fitness took to the streets of Arts, Beats & Eats on Saturday morning, falling just 400 dancers short of the largest class in history.

More than 900 Zumba Fitness enthusiasts from Michigan and beyond gathered at the Ford Arts, Beats & Eats Saturday morning in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for Largest Zumba Class.

While they came close, it wasn't enough to beat the current record of 1,223. But, that doesn't mean they won't try once again next year. With Arts, Beats & Eats Director John Witz promising all of this year's attendees a spot in the front row in 2012, the record title is within reach.
