What happens at the Zumba Instructor Workshop?
The one day workshop is an all day affair. When you arrive you will receive a
packet of information plus a Zumba DVD which is included in your registration
price. During the first hour you will be participating in a Zumba master class.
There are people of all ages, all sizes, and all nationalities. 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. 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 will 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 tank tops and zumba accessories to buy. This is a good
opportunity to buy a zumba tank top because you can try them on to see what
size fits you best. And if you plan on teaching zumba you will most probably buy
something that says Zumba on it at some time or other!
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 message
board on the zumba website.
