Planning ahead is very important in order to make a good impression and negotiate successfully. Think of what are you going to say, and what questions you may be asked. If you were a facility decision maker, why would you what to host Zumba? How would that benefit that facility? It is also important to mention that although Zumba appears to be very popular, there are a lot of people who have never heard of it.
The best thing to do may be to write a proposal. Then, arrange a meeting with the decision makers and bring the proposal with you. That can be very helpful as in some facilities there may be number of people who will need to approve a new class. Proposal can be easily copied and shared with all the relevant people involved in decision making.
Here are some suggestions about what should your proposal package include:
1. Attractive cover page or folder. You can find many images on Zumba site
2. Your personal letter (or, ‘cover letter’) where you explain what you are proposing and why have you chosen that particular facility
3. Brief summary about what Zumba is and its history
4. How is having Zumba class going to benefit the facility (enhanced employee morale, healthier work environment, fun, unique, may attract new clients, may increase the reputation of the facility...etc)
5. How is Zumba different from other workouts? As you probably know, there are many kinds of workouts but those may not be all that fun. The only way to keep participants interested is to ensure they have fun! Zumba class can provide just that. You can also explain why did you choose to teach Zumba as opposed to other fitness programs.
6. You may include some pictures of your Zumba classes. Images can often convey the fun atmosphere of the class.
7. Gather Zumba promotional materials, articles, press releases, perhaps a demo video (it would be the best if you make one with yourself in it, but you can also get some from youtube). Aggregate the article content and present it in attractive and convincing manner
8. Include your credentials and if you have various certifications in fitness or dance fields, consider presenting those credentials and skills in a form of resume
9. Sometimes, writing your own personal philosophy can be unique way to approach the facility. For example, writing about your teaching methods, how approachable and friendly you are, respecting/embracing diversity, believing that all people deserve to have fun, enjoying to coach individuals, understanding how stressful live can be and how one fun packed Zumba class can help people forget their worries, etc... Just like when looking for job, it is helpful to review all available information acout your chosen facility and perhaps incorporate some of the language in your proposal/negotiations
10. Include your business card, phone number and your website
11. Assure them that if they approve your class, you will help with advertising (provide posters, post cards or other materials relevant to your class)
12. Follow up after your visit. You may what to send an email or make a phone call thanking the facility for taking time to have you and review your proposal.

Where in Toronto Can I Teach Zumba Classes?
You can teach your Zumba Classes in number of Toronto places.
You can link up with other instructors and teach at the Toronto Zumba Parties.
Here are several other ideas.
1. Fitness facilities. Just make sure you understand the requirements you may need to get hired there. Some facilities may ask you to have a group fitness certification. Fitness facilities tend to give you a flat pay rate (that means, you are paid the same regardless how many students come to your class). Some fitness facilities may even pay for upgrades of your Zumba certifications. For example, they may pay for you to take Aqua Zumba or Gold Zumba certification, depending if there is potential to increase number of visitors by providing those classes. Fitness facilities tend to provide you with various additional benefits such as free gym membership for you.
2. Schools are sometimes great places to teach Zumba, especially if you have Zumbatomic (Zumba for kids) certification. Schools are always looking for various ideas to keep kids and youth busy and physically active. Terms and conditions are variable in different schools so it is necessary to go to school decision makers to negotiate about the possibility to teach Zumba class there. Some schools may require you to have your police criminal record check (just for the legal purposes given inappropriate incidents that sometimes happen).
3. Community centres also strive to provide a variety of activities for their visitors. Zumba can certainly be an excellent addition. You may what to visit the center of your interest first in order to see what kind of rooms they have available for teaching such class. Some community centers have great rooms for dancing while others may not. Ideally, the room should have mirrors so that you can see your students easily. Hardwood (or similar floor) is a must. Avoid concrete or carpeted areas as there is high risk of injury for yourself and your students. Zumba involves a lot of twisting motions so the risk of injury is very high. If you like the place, then you can negotiate with administration office about starting a Zumba class.
4. Dance studios are great places to teach Zumba. Dance studios usually prefer if you have dancing background. Dancing requires high fitness level. Many dancers have memberships in fitness centers however; they may find Zumba much more fun and convenient.
5. Teaching in a Church may be another possibility. The Zumba class may provide people with an opportunity to have fun and socialize. The fee you may charge there may be lower than in other places (that is what I heard from other Zumba instructors, but you should try it for yourself and see). You may decide to do a free demo class in church and perhaps recruit participants to the other locations where you teach Zumba classes.
6. Teaching in a business company or corporation may be another idea. Many corporations are looking into retention of their employees and are opting to provide various wellness services. Corporations usually pay a flat rate while allowing employees to enjoy classes for free.
7. Various conventions, events, retreats, or conferences.
8. Cruise ships (ah, that sounds like a dream...but it is possible:)

I Finished My Zumba Certification Class, Now What??
Toronto has about 500 Zumba instructors so starting your business and finding space to rent may be tough. In in addition to challenges to start your business, you will also need to work very hard to sustain it.
Good way to start is to link up with other instructors from Toronto. You can attend some of the Zumba classes in Toronto to form friendships and get ideas, as well as Zumba parties. You can volunteer to teach at the parties which will help you gain exposure and experience.
Please check this site for Toronto Zumba Party as we welcome new instructors.
Also consider:
1. Trying to find a place to teach your class (you can actually be proactive and start making contacts even before you get certified)
2. Getting familiar with the music
3. Making sure you understand and know to recognize different rhythms (for example, what is Salsa song, or Cumbia song, Merenque song, etc)
4. Creating a plan about what your routines will be like and making sure you know them
5. Creating the song playlist
I know this may seem overwhelming to you as a new Zumba instructor however, if you focus on that in a systematic manner (that is, to work on it a little bit every day or every other day, depending how much time you have), you will be able to adequately prepare to teach your new class and feel proud of what you accomplished. Just remember, you already know about Zumba and related fields (like dance and fitness) much more than your students. All you really need is to create a fun atmosphere in the class and demonstrate some easy to follow moves. When you attended your Zumba instructor class, you probably heard that Zumba moves are supposed to be simple and easy to follow. That makes your job as a Zumba instructor much easier! Don’t bother with some complicated choreography because it will be more challenging for you to teach that class without worrying that you will forget something in the middle of the song. Also, remember that your students probably don’t desire to be challenged remembering steps. They want to have a workout without having to concentrate too hard on steps because it takes away from workout itself. If you go to aerobic fitness class for example, you will see that steps are not complicated at all. What is hard is to endure the class while maintaining your high energy and avoiding stopping. Imagine if your instructor was introducing new steps every 10 seconds? Same principle can be applied to your Zumba class. If your students are able to follow you and enjoy the class, it is very likely that they will be satisfied and hopefully come again! After teaching several classes, you can ask your students about how they like your Zumba class. This can be done by email, of verbal conversation, or surveys. You will gather a wealth of information that will help you become better instructor. Will talk about that later.

How to Prepare for My Zumba Instructor Certification Class
Arrival:
First, note the location before your travel day to ensure find it on time and avoid driving around, especially if you are not familiar with the area you are visiting.
It is important to arrive earlier and check in. For example, if your class starts at 8:00, then come at least at 7:30. This will ensure that you receive your welcome package in time, to have a chance to glance through it, sign all required forms, and to get to the classroom (or gym) early enough. Why is that important? It is because you will be able to take the best spot in the floor where you can be close to your instructor. That way you will be able to see, follow and remember the steps much better than if you are standing somewhere in the last row. Instructor classes typically attract anywhere between 80 and 100 participants, therefore it is important not to end up too far from the instructor.
Bring cash:
Many instructors sell Zumba clothes before the class. Even if you have no intention of buying anything, I can assure you that once you see how cute, bright, sparkly, fun, attractive and cool the clothes are, you will feel very compelled to buy at least one or two items. Therefore, bring cash as many instructors are not accepting credit cards and you may not have time to run around looking for bank.
Bring food and drinks:
Next, it is advisable that you bring your snacks, drinks and lunch. The Zumba instructor training day is very intense and packed with activities. Breaks may not be long enough to go out looking to buy something. However, if you have food with you, there will be plenty of opportunities to eat and drink.
What else to bring:
It is also highly advisable to bring a towel, sweatshirt, and perhaps a change of workout clothes for the afternoon session. You can bring a photo camera, but no videotaping is allowed because of privacy matters as well as music copyright regulations.
What to wear?
You should choose clothes that are suitable for workout, which are not too tight or restrictive of movement. As for shoes, it is advisable to wear court shoes or “aerobic” shoes or ones that are suitable for medial, lateral or twisting motions. Jazz sneakers are OK too. Running shoes are not ideal as they are meant to be more for forward motion. However, if you have old and worn-out running shoes, those can be good as well. Avoid buying new shoes just before the workshop as you will spend the whole day in them and therefore have a risk of developing sores or blisters.
How long is the workshop?
The Zumba instructor workshop lasts the whole 8 or 9 hour day (really). On the evening before, there may be a 2 hour Zumba master class organized just to get you familiar with all the moves. You can bring a friend to this class if you want to! You instructor will let you know if this class is available after you sign up for your Zumba instructor class. At any case, make sure you get a good rest before your class!
Should I bring credit card?
Yes, there will be opportunity to join Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN) and get bonus CD/DVD when you do so. Majority of participants choose to join ZIN once they learn about the amazing benefits it offers. It is not mandatory to join ZIN.
What should I expect to learn in the class?
Your instructor will explain/demonstrate the following: Overview of what Zumba is Explain and show different Zumba moves (don’t worry, it will not be too hard to follow) Explain music copyright regulation (this is very important to understand) Explain and demonstrate how to listen to the music, find the rhythm and create a choreography Learning how to identify Latin rhythms (for example, how to recognize a Cumbia, Salsa, or Merengue song) Basic principles of teaching a fitness class and instructor safety tips How to structure your Zumba class Overview of ZIN membership
.....and much more! This is just an example of a class I attended. I am sure every Zumba instructor can teach in different manner, without compromising the quality.
What will I receive in my Zumba instructor welcome package?
You will receive a Zumba manual, ZIN membership booklet, 3 Zumba DVDs to watch at home, and one Zumba CD with music. I can assure you that this material, along with Zumba instructor class, will be more than enough to prepare you to teach Zumba.
Good luck!!!

How Do I Become Zumba Instructor
The first step to becoming a Zumba Instructor is to register for one of Zumba workshops. There are various workshops that you can attend such as Basic Zumba, Gold Zumba, Zumbatomic, Basic 2 Zumba etc. It is recommended that you start with basic Zumba . You can register by going to the site zumba.com and choose instructor training button. Then you can locate the instructor class on your area. Depending where you live, there may not be the chance to attend Zumba certification class right away. Once you find the class closest to you (mind you, it may not be in your neighbourhood at all. Even though I live in a large city, I traveled for my class about 500 km!), register ASAP as those classes fill quickly.
Zumba Fitness LLC does not require you to have any pre-requisites (such as fitness or dance background) to teach Zumba although having previous experience in those two fields will definitely be helpful for you to deliver quality Zumba class to your clients. Participants for Zumba instructor training should be 18 or older. Younger participants shout contact Zumba Fitness LLC. and ask permission for attendance. Sometimes allowances are made for younger participants.
Once you have finished the one-day or two-day Zumba Basic Workshop, you are allowed to teach Zumba, use the "Zumba" name in your class title or promotional materials, and call yourself a Zumba Instructor. Any other use of the Zumba name or logo (such as having a website with word “Zumba” in your URL, or having a logo on your website) must be approved by the Zumba Corporate office. They will ask you to join ZIN (that is, Zumba Instructor Network) and then you will have those privileges as well.
Please know that Zumba Fitness is a registered trademark of Zumba Fitness, LLC, which holds copyright ownership on all Zumba related material and use of name and logo. Anyone who teaches Zumba without having a current Certificate of Completion would be in infringement of trademark and copyright laws.
After the Zumba Workshop,you will be given your Zumba Instructor certificate and you can start teaching whenever you feel ready. Every Zumba Instructor is an independent contractor, so you will be in charge of looking for places to teach, negotiating your contract, set up your own schedule, rates, terms, agreements, etc. with whichever facilities you choose. It is importnat to know that unless you are a ZIN member, your certification will expire in one year and then you will need to finish the instructor class again if you want to continue to teach Zumba.
Some fitness facilities require their instructors to have other fitness certification such as general group exercise certificate as they consider Zumba as a specialty class just like Pilates or Yoga. Most fitness facilities want to ensure that their instructor have related background and experience to safely teach a fitness class regardless of that kind the class is. It is also important form a legal perspective in case that some of the clients sustain an injury during the class.
Therefore it is wise to determine where you would like to teach and what certificates or qualifications you are required to have. You can finish your Zumba certificate first and then work on your general fitness certification.. Some facilities may allow you to teach Zumba while completing your general fitness certification even though you have not finished it yet. For example, two highly recognized certifications are ACE, AFAA, or CanFitPro for Canada.

Zumba in Toronto
What is Zumba and where can I find a class in Toronto?
Zumba is a Latin dance inspired aerobic fitness exercise program first introduced by a choreographer named Beto Perez and his two entrepreneur friends Alberto Perlman and Alberto Aghion. It was created in the early 1990s and today there are over 20,000 (and increasing every day)Zumba instructors around the world, taking fitness to a whole new level.
Zumba combines high energy Latin music and guides you to dance away your stress and worries in a unique Zumba style moves. Zumba fitness assumes the “easy to do and fun” method that everyone should be able to do. It releases physical and mental stress and burns calories. It combines the moves of several Latin dances: Meringue, Cumbia, Salsa, Reggaeton and other cheerful and up-beat music.
The Zumba choreography combines aerobic exercise moves with a touch of dance that will enable you to sculpt your body in a fun way. That's why it is called "Exercise in Disguise".It includes graceful slow dance moves as well as fast, strong, and active steps to keep you shape and to relax the tensions. The Zumba workout process is designed to burn calories while having fun and without feeling like you are just working out.
One other feature that makes Zumba fitness more desirable is the fact that not only men and women, but also kids can do it. The upbeat and choreography are designed to be easy to follow at your own pace. Even if you are not a very talented dancer. It is also remarkable that doing Zumba is possible even for the handicapped individuals and those in rehabilitation!
We all know how stressful daily workouts especially if they are boring adn make you feel you are doing them only because you have to. Especially, if you are to the larger end it may seem that no matter what you try, it is not bringing you desired results. Doing push ups and or jogging around the block can seem forever; but with a mood-lifting music and dynamic twists,jumps and turns, Zumba is a whole deal easier and more enjoyable than any workout class.
Did you know that there are online Zumba lessons too? You can stay home, exercise, and shred the extra fat in the comfort of your own territory.
The Zumba family has created a line of fitness wear as well. There are the fun and sparkly white Zumba sneakers and comfy track-bottoms that’ll make the workout sessions even more enjoyable. Then there are colorful and funky Zumba t-shirts fitting all sizes. You will feel better and more cheerful as soon as you put those Zumba clothes on!
