Orlando, FL – August 15, 2013 – The Sunshine State shined even brighter than usual this week as more than 8,000 neon adorning Zumba Fitness instructors from across the globe descended upon Orlando for the Zumba Fitness Instructor Convention (8/15 – 8/18). The events kicked off Thursday morning as The View’s Sherri Shepherd delivered an inspirational – and of course comical – keynote address, while later that evening  the Orange County Convention Center was transformed into a sea of rhythm and energy as Zumba co-founder Beto Perez rocked the stage with music megastars Sean Paul, Victoria Justice and Claudia Leitte as well as emerging artists J Perry, Mara and Dahrio Wonder for an interactive fitness-concert experience that had thousands dancing themselves fit giving the city yet another reason to be dubbed the happiest place on earth.
