NOWADAYS, physical fitness enthusiasts and health advocates in Bacolod City converge in malls, dance studios or parks to "party" and dance to the music that comes from the following dance styles: cumbia, salsa, merengue, mambo, flamenco, chachacha, reggaeton, soca, samba, tango and hiphop.

This latest dance craze also involves martial arts and aerobic elements and is approximated to have converted 14 million people in over 140,000 locations across more than 185 countries in the world.

It's called Zumba, and Bacolod is gearing up for its own ZumBacolod!

Zumba is a dance fitness program borne out of aerobics improvisation. In the 1990s, Columbian dancer and choreographer Alberto "Beto" Perez forgot his tape of aerobics music for a class he was teaching. He foraged traditional salsa and merengue music from his car and improvised a class using this non-traditional music.

In 2001, Beto moved to USA and teamed up with Alberto Periman and Alberto Aghion in producing a demo reel, and the concept was discovered and licensed by a company called Fitness Quest that created a direct marketing campaign and a line of home videos.

The three of them have since turned the Zumba program into a global movement as the largest branded dance-fitness program in the world.

Zumba sessions are typically about an hour long and are taught by licensed instructors. The exercise includes fast and slow movements as well as resistance training.

There are types of classes for different levels of age and exertion. Zumba Gold is specifically designed for the needs of the elderly. Zumba Gold-Toning is a toning class for older participants with goals of improving muscle strength, posture, mobility and coordination. Zumba Step tones and strengthens the legs through Zumba routines and step aerobics.

Zumba Toners do their workouts with toning sticks. It targets the abs, thighs, arms and other muscles throughout the body. Aqua Zumba is done in a shallow water of a swimming pool. It combines the same dance movements in a Zumba fitness class with those used in aqua fitness classes.

Zumba in the circuit usually last 30 minutes and uses strength exercises in various stations in timed intervals. ZumbaKids is designed for children between the ages 4 and 12. ZumbaSentao is a chair workout that uses body weight to strengthen and tone the body.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 28, 2014

Keyframe-Cinema has added DMT: The Spirit Molecule to its catalog of Transformational culture films. Created by Keyframe-Entertainment, Keyframe-Cinema is an online service that allows Transformational filmmakers to share their work with fans, film buffs, and festivals. The platform is designed to facilitate the community film screening process, and also automates the licensing and delivery of media to film screeners. Keyframe-Cinema aims to display a variety of Transformational films, including documenting the evolution of Electronic Music Culture by unearthing, gathering and sharing films through community screenings.

Created by Mitch Schultz, DMT: The Spirit Molecule is a documentary film that uses Dr. Rick Strassmans research to investigate dimethyltryptamine (DMT). DMT is an endogenous psychoactive compound, which exists in humans as well as in numerous species of plants and animals. The film condenses over 80 hours of interview footage with cutting-edge computer-generated imagery to capture critical elements of the DMT experience.

The story revolves around Strassman's research, and the experiences of the human test subjects, and draws on a variety of experts to voice unique thoughts and experiences with DMT from within their respective fields. The experts include research scientists, doctors, religious leaders, writers, artists, anthropologists, psychologists, physicists, psychonauts, et al. As Strassmans story unfolds, these contributors weigh in on his remarkable theories, indigenous use of DMT, the history and future of psychedelics and psychedelic research, and the current news about DMT; including a recent Supreme Court case allowing the use of ayahuasca in the United States within the religious ceremonies of the UDV, a hybrid of indigenousness beliefs with that of Christianity. Other areas of exploration include possible roles for endogenous DMT production, DMTs role in near-death and birth experiences, alien abduction experiences, and the uncanny likeness to ancient religious texts describing prophets with DMT-like experiences. The contributors offer a comprehensive collection of information, opinions, and speculation to help understand the nature of the DMT experience, and its role in human society and evolution.

To better navigate the expansive realms of Strassmans DMT universe, popular actor, comedian, and social satirist, Joe Rogan, serves as tour guide. His own personal experiences with DMT, and a fascination that borders on reverence, have motivated him to be a central component of the project. In stylized scenes reminiscent of Rod Sterlings famous Twilight Zone bookends, Rogan shepherds the audience through the great unknowns of the DMT space.

The film also features guest speakers such as Alex Grey, Eric Davis, Daniel Pinchbeck, as well as footage from Terence McKenna. DMT: The Spirit Molecule has met with wide acclaim and recognition, coming in at as the #1 most-streamed documentary on Netflix at time of release and ranking at #3 on the Documentary & Independent lists on iTunes. The film has also gathered a vast network of supporters, consisting of a 3,000,000 direct Partner network reach, over 400,000 Facebook page likes, as well as over 3,000,000 Youtube views.

That the films featured on Keyframe-Cinema share an ecosystem of supporters is highlighted by communal collaborators involved in related cultural projects. As such, another Transformational film which features Alex Grey, Eric Davis, Daniel Pinchbeck and footage from Terence McKenna is Electronic Awakening, also available for screening via Keyframe-Cinema. Produced and Directed by A.C Johner, Electronic Awakening investigates the spirituality of Electronic Dance Music culture. Additional film in the catalog includes AYA: Awakenings, a narrative documentary that dives into the world and visions of ayahuasca plant medicine and shamanism, adapted from the cult book Aya: a Shamanic Odyssey by Rak Razam.

Given the ongoing changes of the film industry, Keyframe-Cinema provides a platform that not only facilitates film screenings but also provides community engagement. As Director Christopher Nolan mentions in an op-ed published by the Wall Street Journal, "The cinema of the future will depend not just on grander presentation, but on the emergence of filmmakers inventive enough to command the focused attention of a crowd for hours." As such, Keyframe-Cinemas intention of providing the tools to create events that go beyond a typical film experience, for example by having the Director present their work, the Producer Skyping in or having a Q & A panel discussion, enhances the viewing and participation experience.

Keyframe-Cinema encourages filmmakers to tap into their existing fan bases to produce community screenings that viewers can enjoy together and interact thereafter. To learn more and view Keyframe-Cinemas current film catalog, visit: http://keyframe-cinema.com/films/.

About DMT: The Spirit Molecule DMT: The Spirit Molecule investigates dimethyltryptamine (DMT), an endogenous psychoactive compound, which exists in humans as well as in numerous species of plants and animals. The feature-length documentary traces Dr. Rick Strassman's government sanctioned human DMT research and its many trials, tribulations, achievements, and inconceivable realizations. This includes looking deeper into the intense psychedelic experience that DMT causes when consumed, and examining DMTs scientific, spiritual, and cultural relevance. Ultimately, The Spirit Molecule explores the connections between cutting-edge neuroscience, quantum physics, and human spirituality.
