What happens at the Zumba Instructor Workshop?
You will be at the workshop for the entire day. When you arrive you will receive a packet of information plus a
Zumba DVD which is included in your registration price. There are people of all ages, all sizes, and all nationalities
attending zumba instructor trainings!
The first hour is a Zumba master class. Afterwards you take a break to change into some drier clothes and then
you will be sitting on the floor for some time.
Most Zumba Instructor workshops are hosted at health clubs so you will sit on the mats in the group fitness room.
You will learn about the history of zumba, about teaching zumba and how to market your classes. You will also learn
how to do visual cueing and how to make your class effective.
After a one hour lunch break you will then be moving the rest of the day, learning the dance steps such as salsa,
cumbia, reggaeton and merengue. Towards the end of the day you may break into small groups of 5 or 6. A song
will be played and you will put together some steps to do to that song as a team. When it is your team's turn, you
will do the steps and each person will take a turn leading while the others follow. But don't worry, your turn only lasts
about 10 seconds! Remember there is no pass or fail so just have fun with it!

There will probably be zumba clothing such as tank tops, cargo pants, shoes for zumba and zumba accessories to
buy. This is a good opportunity to buy your zumba wear because you can try them on to see what size fits you best.
And if you plan on teaching zumba you will probably buy something that says "Zumba" on it at some time or another!
The ZIN membership is also a good idea to enroll in right away if you plan on teaching and being successful at it. It
is $30 per month and includes monthly mailings of Zumba music, choreography DVD's, and also access to a forum
on the zumba website.
