Zumba® Instructor Network or ZIN for short is a great way to keep up to date on all the new instructor material Zumba® Fitness has to offer

ZIN Zumba® Instructor Network provides continuous education for all of its' Zumba® Instructors. One of the requirements for a Zumba® Instrucor is to keep current on their skills by either attending a workshop every year or by being a member of the Zumba® Instructor Network, (ZIN for short).

ZIN Member signup The Zumba® Instructor Network program is usually offtered right after completing a Zumba® Instructor workshop for a monthly fee. Zumba® Fitness staff have all the information about it and will answer any questions you may have. You also may sign up for ZIN at any time through the official Zumba website at www.Zumba.com. Joining directly after a workshop gives you instant access to the ZIN website where if you wait and sign up later, it could take up to a month or more to get all of your materials through the mail.

Choreographed DVDs There are many perks to being a ZIN member. You will receive a choreographed DVD and a music CD that compliment each other every other month to show the newest songs being used, any new steps or moves that have been incorportated into Zumba, and new choreography to help instructors with their classes.  Each DVD is choreographed by a Zumba Educational Specialist or ZES. Beto Perez himself choreographs as well as others you may have seen on TV such as Tony, Gina, and many more. They all bring their own "flava" to Zumba.

On the alternating months, members receive a Music Mix CD that provides instructors with new music they may use for their classes also. This music is hand picked by Beto Perez, the creator of Zumba, himself.  Remember that instructors can use any music and moves they like, the CDs and DVD are only suggestons.

Discounts on Zumba clothing ZIN members are also privy to discouts through the website on Zumba clothing and accessories. New items are added all the time. They carry everthing from shirts, pants., bras tops, bracelets, marketing materials, towels, and jackets just to name a few.

ZIN TV™  Another new feature on the website is called ZIN TV™. Here, Zumba® Fitness  provides informational lectures as well as videos of dance steps to help instructors. There is also a forum that if an instructor has a question of ant type, it will usually be answered immediately. Many long-time instructors love to help out newer ones. A lot of Zumba Instructors in the Network like to discuss music, choreograpphy, what they charge for classes, who's hiring, advice, encouragement, support, and also friendship. They are a friendly bunch I must say. The Zumba® Instructors Network is well worth the money.
