The first step is to attend a Zumba® Basic 1, Jump Start Gold™ or Jump Start Kids & Kids Jr.™ Instructor Training. For your convenience we offer the Zumba® Basic 1 Instructor Training in 3 different formats: Livestream, In Person and On demand. For Jump Start Gold™ and Jump Start Kids + Kids Jr.™ Instructor Trainings, we offer an In Person and a Livestream format. There are no prerequisites to becoming a Zumba® Instructor, although a fitness or dance background is always a plus. Anyone 18 years or older (ages 15-17 with parental consent) may take a Zumba® Instructor Training.

You can get the same Zumba® Basic 1 Instructor Training experience no matter what format you choose! They all have the same great content, opportunities to practice, connection with a Zumba® Education Specialist who is there to support you, and a license to teach upon completion! The only difference is how you choose to learn. Zumba® Basic 1 In Person is a one-day*, in person training at a location near you! Zumba® Basic 1 Livestream is one-day*, interactive training taught in real time through Zoom by a Zumba® Education Specialist. Zumba® Basic 1 On Demand is an online training that includes 10 hours of premium content broken up into 16 modules that you can complete at your own pace! Zumba® Basic 1 On Demand includes one month of Zumba® Instructor Network (ZIN™) Tools and Support to assist you during the training. Exception: two-day training in India, Portugal and Poland

The duration of the training depends on the format you choose. Both In Person and Livestream Zumba® Basic 1 Instructor Trainings are done in one-day* (about 9 hours). The Zumba® Basic 1 On Demand Instructor Training is online and includes 10 hours of premium content broken up into 16 modules that you can complete at your own pace. Exception: two-day training in India, Portugal and Poland

If you join the Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN™) and are a ZIN™ Member in good standing, your license to teach Zumba® classes will not expire. If you do not join ZIN™, the license you get upon completion of a Zumba® Basic 1 On Demand, Livestream or In Person Instructor Training is good for 6 months and can be renewed easily by joining ZIN™ or taking another Zumba® Instructor training.

Zumba® instructors can teach in person classes at any type of location, these include fitness facilities, dance studios, community centers, parks, etc. Instructors can also teach virtual classes both livestream and on demand through pre-approved platforms?
