Zumba Instructor Network
Zumba has an excellent support program for
its instructors called ZIN (Zumba Instructor
Network). As a member of the Zumba
Instructor Network known as ZIN, instructors
receive many benefits including marketing
materials, choreography DVD's, music for
zumba classes, discounts on zumba wear, a
listing in their database, eligibility to attend
the Zumba Instructor Convention and access
to the instructor forum. It is a fee of $30 per
month, but if you teach zumba alot it is well
worth it.
Where can I teach zumba?
Zumba instructors are currently very
much in demand. Most health clubs have
several zumba classes and several
zumba job openings. You can start off by
signing up as an available sub if you can't
get a permanent spot at first. The zumba
instructor salary in most health clubs is
generally $15 to $25 per class, but could
be higher if you live in a big city.
If you want to earn more you need to start
your own classes. Some common places
to start classes are recreation and
community centers, martial arts clubs,
yacht clubs, dance/yoga studios,
residential fitness centers, corporate
fitness centers, auditoriums, or any other
space you can rent.

What skills do I need to become a Zumba
Instructor?
I think the most desireable skill to teach Zumba
would be a love for it! If you have a love and
passion for zumba, for inspiring people to have
fun when they exercise and you love to dance
and stay fit, then that is your greatest asset.
You don't really need a dance background but it
does help. And you don't really need a
background in teaching fitness but again it does
help! There are excellent zumba instructors out
there with none of these things; they just have to
practice a little harder!

Here's an ebook you
can download
instantly that will give
you all the
information you need
to start making
money as a group
fitness instructor.
Whether you want to
teach dance, yoga or
aerobics, this ebook

What certifications do I need to teach
Zumba?
In addition to taking the zumba instructor basic
workshop, it is recommended that you get a
certification in Group Fitness through a national
organization such as AFAA or ACE, although it is
not necessary to get started.
It is also highly recommended to be CPR/AED
certified. You can get CPR certified by taking a
class through the American Red Cross, American
Heart Association, or look for privately held
classes at community centers, health clubs or
your local fire station.
