ZIN Members!! Here is the scoop about the NEW ZUMBINI(R) Program from Zumba Fitness. I will be teaching Zumbini Trainings in Nor Cal, Oregon, and Arizona... (trainings in AZ and Oregon will be posted SOON!!!) ZIN MEMBERS! Everyone has been asking for more information about this amazing new Instructor Training called Zumbini!! You ask and you receive!! Please read all of this wonderful information that was written by our Lead Zumbini ZES and creator of this program, Ashlee Cramer. Please read and share so that everyone can get a great understanding of what this is all about! What is the Zumbini Program? The Zumbini program is a high energy, fun, original, contemporary take on an old idea: mommy and me music and movement. However, this class is unique! The Zumbini class is different because all of the music is original, there is more movement than a typical early childhood education music and movement class, and guess what? Just as much value and bonding! Do keep in mind: the Zumbini class is NOT an exercise class or a fitness program. The class is a mix of recorded music and live singing, giving the children and caregivers two different experiences, one flowing into the next. The Zumbini instructors will lead simple movement/dance songs and will also sit and sing some really fun songs. In addition, the instructor will lead mommies, daddies, caregivers and kiddos with instruments and scarves during class. A really beautiful high moment in class is the instrument jam session! The classes run in sessions, so the Zumbini instructor will have people sign up for a session of between 8-12 weeks, the participants come once a week. The instructor will then order the "bini bundle" and the participants will each take home their own CDs and songbook after registering for class! This way, the learning and fun is carried over into the home... making class even more fun, even more effective, even more successful! The songs that are on the CD are the same songs we will use in class that quarter..... each quarter, the music and book will change. New music, new book, more interest! ZIN members, you will LOVE this program because it fills a big gap. You can teach it in the morning, best time for babies and toddlers, when fitness classes are at a lull...... you can teach it to all those happy, Zumba loving mamas who want to share the Zumba experience with their babies... it will be a new market for you guys as ZIN members, so you will be able to tap into a whole new form of revenue! ZIN members can sign up for a training and get in on the ground floor!!!! Right now, this is only being offered to ZIN members...... This is truly exciting and a great opportunity. Zumbini Development Background The Zumbini™ program was developed by a team of experts to create an enjoyable program for caregivers and their child(ren) (ages 0-3) to learn, bond, and grow in an upbeat, happy, musical environment. Our philosophy is simple, music is inherent, music is fun, music provides natural learning and development, and caregiver participation is key. What are the qualifications to be a licensed Zumbini™ instructor? There are three requirements that you must complete in order to become a licensed Zumbini™ instructor. The first is that you MUST complete the two-day live training. Second, you MUST pass the "lead a song vocally" portion of the training course. Finally, you will need to activate and maintain your monthly license. Who IS the Zumbini™ Instructor? Someone who has: • A passion for music • An engaging teaching ability • Rhythm and can carry a tune • Fun singing and dancing with childlike (not childish) freedom • A desire to work with young children and their caregivers – two different audiences • A commitment to teach quarterly sessions and build a community environment in the process How does the Zumbini™ program fit with Zumba® Fitness? • Music is key! The class is filled with fresh, original music. • Music motivates naturally: The Zumbini™ program, like Zumba® classes, make people happy! • You leave class energized and wanting to come back. • Simple and repetitious is effective, not boring. In this way, anyone can be a part of the program. • Just as the benefits of Zumba® classes are “hidden” (exercise in disguise), the benefits of the Zumbini™ program are also “hidden” in play. The benefits are important but not the focus. • Z=(MC)2 Zumbini™ = Music and Movement for the Caregiver and Child! • Progress to the next step: Age 4 and up: Zumba® Kids Jr.
