What is the difference between a Zumbathon®, Master Class and Multi-day event?

All three events will have the Zumba^® trademark in the name of the event and only Zumba^® activities will be included.

1. A Zumba^® Master Class is a dance-fitness party led by a ZIN™ Member that offers more than your average Zumba^® class! Whether it is special guests, a fun theme or live music, a Master Class is an amped-up Zumba class with a twist.
2. A Multi-day event is a 2-3 day Zumba^® Event that includes multiple Zumba fitness activities, for example, Zumba^® Master Classes, Zumba^® specialty demos, a Zumba^® wear fashion show, ZIN™ member only sessions (ZIN JAM™ or training sessions), special ZES™ presentations, a Home Office Connection, etc.
3. A Zumbathon^® charity event is a Zumba^® dance-fitness party for a cause! These events are open to the public and raise funds and awareness for a selected charity, organization, individual or community in need.

Do all Zumba^® events need to be listed on zumba.com?

Zumba^® events are not required to be listed on zumba.com, but the Zumba Events Platform will give your event greater exposure and your event will be compliant with the ZIN™ License Agreement and brand use requirements.

Can I host a Zumba^® event that includes other fitness brands or programs (e.g. Pilates)?

If the Zumba^® trademark is included in the event name, no other fitness programs or unassociated products or merchandise can be a part of the event.

How do I properly use the Zumba^® trademarks for my events?

What is a QR Code and how does it work?

The QR code or Quick Response Code is a feature included with the Events Platform. Every ticket includes the ticket number and the user's name outside of the QR code. The ticket number and user's name is also encoded into a convenient QR code that the event coordinator can optionally use with an automated system to scan and save the ticket number automatically. There are many QR reader applications that can be used for this purpose. An Android user can use something like QR Code Reader , and an iPhone user can download the Quick Scan app. Both are free of charge.
