After a year and a half I decided to take the plunge and do the instructor training. I went to an all-day workshop in Columbia, MO in February 2008. Tony and Jessica Witt led this workshop and I loved every minute of it. We learned the basic formula for Zumba, four rhythms and how to teach a class.
The day after I went through the training I started rehearsals for a musical so I had to put teaching on hold. I worked on songs when I had the opportunity and got a few subbing jobs. I did some "one time only" classes and subbed for instructors for many months. After I started feeling more comfortable, I was ready for a class of my own.
I was at Amore Dance taking one of Tony's classes when a fellow instructor said that All American Fitness needed an instructor. I told her to give my information to the contact. A week later I met with Stacey and ended up with a class.
I feel so fortunate to have met such wonderful people as a Zumba student and now as a Zumba instructor. I hope to continue to teach Zumba for a long time and to add other fitness classes to my repertoire.
