Licensed Zumba Instructor

These days, who doesn't know what Zumba is?  If your answer is me, well you'll only find a brief description of everything the Zumba program has to offer in this post. Today I'm writing about my experience becoming a Zumba instructor. In a nutshell, Zumba is a dance fitness workout designed to tone, shape, and strengthen your body by moving and dancing to various international rhythms. Check out Zumba.com to find information about everything Zumba. There you can find out what Zumba is, where classes are offered near you, instructors near you, DVDs, apparel, and so on.

This summer, after having attended many Zumba classes, I finally decided to get licensed as an instructor. Becoming licensed to teach Zumba is pretty simple. The first step is to pick a date to take the Basic training. The earlier you register, the less you pay. The cost ranges from about $220-290 (all this is found on the website). The training class is a one day event, totaling about eight hours and includes a lunch break. During the course of the day you learn so much great information like the four basic Zumba rhythms (Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, and Reggaeton), the history and structure of the Zumba program, about the founder Alberto "Beto" Perez and his journey to making Zumba what it is today, how to grow and market yourself as an instructor, and so much more. 

Once you finish the basic training you can join the Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN). The ZIN membership costs $30 a month and is meant to be an investment for your journey to becoming a top notch Zumba instructor. The membership gives instructors the tools necessary to continue to develop and grow as an instructor. As a member instructors can take more training classes like Zumba Gold, Toning, or Aqua training. Being a ZIN member allows you to receive marketing tips and tools to get the word out to new students that you are an instructor. 

If you or someone you know is looking for a Zumba instructor, look no further. I am available, ready, and licensed to show you how to party while working out. If you are new to Zumba, I can assure you that once you try it, you will love it! If you are looking for more Zumba, Salsa, or Latin dance information, you have come to the right place. Just ask and I will provide you an answer. As always, thank you for reading!
