Being a Zumba® Instructor
When teaching Zumba® Fitness, you don't really know the fitness level of 'all' your students. I find this both exciting and challenging, wishing to deliver the best enjoyable workout at each class to all levels. That is why all Zumba® Instructors are taught to 'read' their class, and adapt the choreography accordingly, giving a choice of different steps. Hence different instructors have different styles. Teaching to mixed levels is interesting and stimulating. I love to see how my students improve their step knowledge and fitness. Best of all is watching their individual styles shine through. There's no right or wrong way in Zumba® Fitness just keep moving. When I'm asked about participation in my classes I'd say... my Tuesday evening class students are a high energy group but are of mixed levels. Tuesday morning students are also mixed levels, (not as high impact) but all have been doing Zumba® Fitness for a while and can rock those moves. Tuesday (mid morning), Wednesday and Thursday morning classes are Zumba Gold® and students require beginner and slower pace routines (it still a great workout and fun!). In all the classes, some students just step it out, some put everything in and others just do their own thing ;-) This variety, mixed with enthusiastic students, is why I love teaching Zumba® Fitness. |
