Zumbini Class

Are you interested in becoming a Zumbini Instructor?

As a stay-at-home mom, I am always looking for activities to do with my daughter.

When I found Zumbini classes online, I was bummed to see there were no classes within a ten-mile radius.

So, I thought to myself, since we can’t go to a Zumbini class nearby, why not bring the Zumbini class to us by teaching it?

As I read more information, I realized that being a Zumbini instructor could allow me to have another source of income, set my own schedule, and, most importantly, create a joyful and fun time for a child with their parent or caregiver's participation.

So, what is a Zumbini class?

Zumba and Baby First created Zumbini for children 0 to 4 years of age to participate with their parent or caregiver. Zumbini classes are not kids’ Zumba classes, as I initially assumed.

The 45-minute classes involve music, movement, and instruments. Classes, on average, have ten children with their grown-ups.

Zumbini classes engage all three types of learners: visual learners, audio learners, and physical activity learners.

And all the Zumbini music is original.

Steps to getting a Zumbini Instructor license

I became a licensed Zumbini instructor as of September 6, 2023.

Opting for the on-demand live session allowed me to pace myself and complete it in sessions during my daughter’s naps.

The following three steps are what I completed to earn my Zumbini instructor license.

Complete a live session or an on-demand live session
Complete online portion-split modules; you will have 30 days to complete them
Sign the license agreement and join the PLAY instructor network

Even though I have my Zumbini instructor license, I still have additional steps to complete to be fully prepared to teach a Zumbini class. The following is what I need to work on next.

Join the Zumbini instructor Facebook Group
Review the Zumbini curriculum with the instructor manual and memorize songs for the lesson plans through the PLAY instructor network
Purchase instruments for class
Purchase annual liability insurance
Find a place to teach
Start marketing your classes

Final thoughts:

Overall, the Zumbini instructor training was straightforward and easy to follow.

I like that they offer a lot of support through the PLAY instructor network and have a Facebook Group where you get to pick the brains of experienced Zumbini instructors.

Stay tuned as I continue to learn the lesson plans to teach sometime in the Winter.
