Zumba: Fitness Party has joined the Play Pass lineup, bringing even more fun fitness options to Nex Playground.
This official experience is everything you love about Zumba, with a gamified twist. Dance along with your favorite instructors, match the steps, and earn points as you salsa and shimmy your way to a healthier, happier you.
There’s been a lot of excitement about this new, at-home Zumba option, and also a lot of questions. Want to learn more before you jump in? Here are all the details.
At launch, you can get down and dance to 66 songs across 10 different workouts. But the fun doesn’t stop there: we’re also dropping new songs every month for the remainder of 2025.
Already a Zumba fan? We’ve got good news—all of the music in the game is direct from Zumba, giving you an authentic, at-home experience.
Yes! Whether you’re new to Zumba or have been attending classes for a decade+, you can enjoy Zumba: Fitness Party. The workouts are divided into 3 different categories:
Even better, each class is broken down into individual songs. If you find a favorite, you can jump right to it, essentially mixing and matching your own routine. Whether you’re looking for a quick pick-me-up or a pro-level challenge, Zumba: Fitness Party has you covered.
In-person Zumba classes harness the energy of community to help you push through your workouts. But at home, you may need a little extra oomph to keep the party going.
With Zumba: Fitness Party, you earn points for every move you make. The better you match your instructor, the higher you’ll score. String together a series of powerful moves and you earn even more.
Every time you play, you earn points, increasing your level and unlocking new content to keep your workouts fresh and fun.
If you’re just getting started, you’ll need to complete the “Zumba 101” classes before moving into the more advanced songs. To unlock “Quick Workouts”, your best scores across all intro routines need to total or beat the points threshold for unlocking that content.
Looking for a bigger challenge? Keep dancing! Each time you complete a workout, you earn experience points. Earn enough experience points and you’ll level up, unlocking “Full Workouts”—with longer, even harder-hitting dance routines.
Zumba: Fitness Party features real Zumba instructors talking you through the steps. But these are recorded classes, so their feedback is not based on your movements.
Want to know how you’re performing? Keep an eye on your points to see how well you’re matching each move.
Want to let loose and party? Then don’t worry about those points—simply feel the beat and dance away. No one’s watching (except maybe your kids 😜), so forget about making it “perfect” and just have fun!
Yes! Zumba: Fitness Party has player profiles for tracking your personal dance journey.
You can create up to 4 profiles on one device. Each profile will track the player’s high scores and points, allowing you to unlock additional content (like new songs!) based on your progress.
We use a mix of your gameplay activity and standard calculations to approximate your calorie burn.
The game is tracking the movement of your body as you play to estimate the intensity of your activity. This is called the Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET). For Zumba (a moderate-intensity conditioning exercise activity), this range is between 3.0 - 6.0.
If you included your weight in your profile, we use the standard NASM formula to determine your calorie burn per minute of activity.
If you haven’t provided your weight, we use a baseline estimate to complete the calculation.
There’s quite a lot that goes into each formula, but the values are only estimates. While we can’t guarantee 100% accuracy, we’re always striving to share as accurate a measurement as possible based on your personal stats and movement.
This experience is for 1 or 2 players. Find 20 minutes of free time and dance solo. Or add a second profile and rock that routine together. Each profile tracks the accuracy, points, and streaks separately, allowing you both to level up as you groove.
Want more ways to enjoy Zumba together (and a little extra motivation)? Challenge your family members to a dance-off!
Each song selection page showcases the highest score for that routine. Practice and perfect your moves to make the family leaderboard and earn bragging rights.
Both you and your workout buddy need to have the workouts unlocked to play them together.
Yes! If you have Zumba toning sticks (or any other workout items you love), feel free to use them.
It’s important to note that none of the current content requires accessories. But since you don’t have to hold a controller to play, your hands are free to use toning sticks for an extra calorie boost.
