• What makes a movement easier or more challenging
2: Class Design and Planning (28%)

• How to achieve each of the 5 parts of a successful class
4: Professionalism (12%)

Plus, open Q&A with an AFAA Master Instructor!
No matter which Zumba® format you teach, the skills inherent for overall successful group instruction are similar. This hands-on AFAA workshop is especially valuable because it focuses on what it takes to be an effective and safe Zumba® and STRONG Nation® Instructor.
