There are three entry-level Instructor Trainings available to non-Zumba Instructors: Zumba® Basic Level 1, Zumba® + Gold: Dual License Training and Zumba® + Kids: Dual License Training.

The Zumba Basic Level 1 Instructor Training (also known as Zumba Basic) is a high-energy training session where you'll learn the basic Zumba rhythms as well as multiple variations. This Instructor Training gives you the groundwork you need to teach Zumba class.

If you wish to teach a lower-intensity Zumba class to active older adults, beginners, or special populations, then we recommend you take the Zumba® + Gold: Dual License Training. Zumba® + Gold: Dual License Training combines the Zumba Gold® Training with the foundation and formula of a Zumba® Basic Level 1 Training. 

The Zumba® + Gold: Dual License Training addresses the anatomical, physiological and psychological needs crucial to teaching the active older adult population*. It is designed for instructors-to-be who are passionate about teaching Zumba Gold® classes (versus basic Zumba classes) and want to jump start their Zumba Gold career. This course allows instructors-to-be to become licensed in both the Zumba Basic and Zumba Gold programs in one extended 10-hour Instructor Training.

The Zumba® + Kids: Dual License Training gives you two Zumba® Instructor Licenses — Zumba Basic 1 and Zumba® Kids & Kids Jr. — in a one-day training! You’ll get all the instruction and materials you need to kick start a Zumba® kids program to help successfully become a kids dance fitness instructor. 

To receive the Kids & Kids Jr. instructor license after the training, you must join ZIN (Zumba Instructor Network)

The Zumba® Instructor Network is a monthly membership program created to give you ongoing support and tools for success as a Zumba instructor. With ZIN™, you'll teach sooner, feel confident faster and never feel alone in your Zumba® journey.
