Important Details About The Training

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

Mercury Blvd, which has lots of shopping and restaurants, is 15 minutes away. There will not be any lunch spots on Ft. Monroe site.

There is a Starbucks in the facility that can prepare any drink with protein and packaged snack foods are available for purchase.

Participants will have to get a day pass as they enter Fort Monroe, that requires a picture ID and vehicle registration. It does not take long and can be done from your vehicle.

1. Registration/Check-In:

Please arrive at 8:00 a.m. to get checked-in, receive your materials, and chat with friends. The workshop will begin promptly at 8:30. Please do be there by 8:00 as we will have a long line to check in.
Anyone that has not registered as a participant is NOT allowed in the training. Only participants that have registered are allowed in the training.

2. Lunch:
Lunch will be only 30 minutes. So there will be no (or very little) time to go out and get lunch. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you bring a bag lunch.

3. Highly Recommended That You Bring:
Water, towel, a pen, healthy snacks, sweatshirt, and a change of workout clothes for the afternoon session. (Note: Cameras are welcome. Video taping is not allowed due to music copyright laws.)

4. Come Dressed To Work Out: We will be working out at the start of the workshop. You may want to bring another set of workout clothes for the afternoon. Best shoes to wear are: court shoes or "aerobic" shoes - wear shoes that do not have a lot of tread at the bottom and are meant for medial/lateral/twisting motion. Running shoes and cross training shoes are not ideal because of the tread and also they are meant more for forward motion. Jazz sneakers are fine too. Any old shoe where the bottom is worn out is good so you can twist and turn easily.

5. Full Day:

Please do expect the workshop to run the full-day. It is a fun day! And there is much to learn and much to practice. Please get a good night's rest the night before.

6. Credit Card: ZIN (Zumba Instructor Network):

Consider bringing your credit card. At the Instructor training, we will talk about our Continuing Education Program (called ZIN, the Zumba Instructor Network), which is optional. However, the value of the program is phenomenal, and the majority of participants do opt for the Continuing Education and many resources available. ZIN provides you with monthly music CD's, bi-monthly choreography DVD's, it counts as your ZUMBA continuing education credits so that you don't have to re-license with the program, access to our 4 specialty programs (Zumba Gold, Aqua Zumba, Zumba Toning, and Zumbatomic), discounts on Zumbawear, access to discounted liability insurance, personalized web pages on Zumba.com, tons of marketing materials, up to a 50% discount on future trainings, and so much more. The #1 feedback at past trainings is that so many people wished they were told in advance to bring their credit/debit card in case they want to join at the training (because you also get an extra Music CD, and DVD for free!).
