University business graduate on variable programme of exercises (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zumba

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'programme of exercises' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'university business graduate on variable' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation as in UMass).
'business graduate' becomes 'MBA' (Master of Business Administration degree).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'variable' becomes 'z' (algebra).
'u'+'mba'='umba'
'umba' put after 'z' is 'ZUMBA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for zumba that I've seen is " system of exercises".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
