Where in Toronto Can I Teach Zumba Classes?

You can teach your Zumba Classes in number of Toronto places.

You can link up with other instructors and teach at the Toronto Zumba Parties.

Here are several other ideas.

1. Fitness facilities. Just make sure you understand the requirements you may need to get hired there. Some facilities may ask you to have a group fitness certification. Fitness facilities tend to give you a flat pay rate (that means, you are paid the same regardless how many students come to your class). Some fitness facilities may even pay for upgrades of your Zumba certifications. For example, they may pay for you to take Aqua Zumba or Gold Zumba certification, depending if there is potential to increase number of visitors by providing those classes. Fitness facilities tend to provide you with various additional benefits such as free gym membership for you.

2. Schools are sometimes great places to teach Zumba, especially if you have Zumbatomic (Zumba for kids) certification. Schools are always looking for various ideas to keep kids and youth busy and physically active. Terms and conditions are variable in different schools so it is necessary to go to school decision makers to negotiate about the possibility to teach Zumba class there. Some schools may require you to have your police criminal record check (just for the legal purposes given inappropriate incidents that sometimes happen).

3. Community centres also strive to provide a variety of activities for their visitors. Zumba can certainly be an excellent addition. You may what to visit the center of your interest first in order to see what kind of rooms they have available for teaching such class. Some community centers have great rooms for dancing while others may not. Ideally, the room should have mirrors so that you can see your students easily. Hardwood (or similar floor) is a must. Avoid concrete or carpeted areas as there is high risk of injury for yourself and your students. Zumba involves a lot of twisting motions so the risk of injury is very high. If you like the place, then you can negotiate with administration office about starting a Zumba class.

4. Dance studios are great places to teach Zumba. Dance studios usually prefer if you have dancing background. Dancing requires high fitness level. Many dancers have memberships in fitness centers however; they may find Zumba much more fun and convenient.

5. Teaching in a Church may be another possibility. The Zumba class may provide people with an opportunity to have fun and socialize. The fee you may charge there may be lower than in other places (that is what I heard from other Zumba instructors, but you should try it for yourself and see). You may decide to do a free demo class in church and perhaps recruit participants to the other locations where you teach Zumba classes.

6. Teaching in a business company or corporation may be another idea. Many corporations are looking into retention of their employees and are opting to provide various wellness services. Corporations usually pay a flat rate while allowing employees to enjoy classes for free.

7. Various conventions, events, retreats, or conferences.

8. Cruise ships (ah, that sounds like a dream...but it is possible:)
