Zumba activewear line features feminine street-style looks

The line features a range of functional workout attire that easily transitions into sophisticated feminine street-style looks, inspiring the hidden dancer within all women. Furthermore, many items feature Z-Dri technology, the fabric's high-performance moisture wicking system that keeps the body dry.

The Zumba apparel SS'14 collection contains workout essentials such as bra tops, shorts, pants and tanks, while hyper-focusing on easy-to-wear layering pieces that include cozy jackets, wraps and shrugs. Also included are a variety of dance-inspired baggy pants in soft jerseys and French terry that allow for ease of movement.

New to the rollout is the innovatively-designed "So Bootyful Legging," featuring a flattering fold-over waistband and inverted semi-oval shaped seam that accentuates the backside. The perfect fit fabric provides lifting and smoothing effects resulting in a beautiful silhouette that flatters every body type.

The creativity and functionality behind the Zumba apparel SS'14 collection is Brian Ruskin, whose career includes high-level positions at Victoria's Secret, the Gap and most recently as Executive Vice President of exclusive online women's retailer Venus. He brings along a wealth of experience in merchandising management within the fashion industry.

"We are excited to deliver a fresh perspective on women's active apparel that offers a balance of femininity and utility," said Ruskin, chief apparel officer of Zumba. "The collection is an eclectic expression of the Zumba lifestyle and our 'So Bootyful Legging' is going to revolutionize the way women feel about active wear and their workout in general. All pieces are designed so that women can look good and feel amazing regardless of where the day takes them."
