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!

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® 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?
