How much time is reasonable to plan a Zumba class? PLEASE GIVE INSIGHTS
I have one Zumba instructor who teaches two 1 hour classes per week. In addition to those hours we pay her for teaching, she puts down 6 – 8 hours per week for planning/prepping for those classes and for learning new songs and material. I am happy to pay my instrcutors for planning within reason – I do not teach Zumba or any choreographed classes myself, so I am not sure what is a reasonable time to expect for learning new songs/choreography etc. Any insights into what might be fair would be great! 8 hours seems like a lot to me…
I don’t agree with Joanna and Sarah.. I am a zumba instructor who is certified only as zumba instructor and I absolutely don’t need to have a group fitness certificate to teach. Zumba need preparation but I never heard of any club paying for pep time.
I am employed as zumba instructor by a fitness club and it is up to me to make sure I am prepared for my students and deliver fun and active class.
