25TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION MASTER CLASS WITH BETO
Beto Perez

As Beto himself describes it, a Zumba® Master Class is "a class that is much more than just the usual 'weekly' class. There is something much more phenomenal about the class that makes it special or unique." Here's your chance! Join Beto for a high-energy master class celebrating 25 years of Zumba. Bring your mega-watt smile and be ready to dance!

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION

Join us for an exciting kickoff session that’s both informational and inspirational! This dynamic presentation will cover everything Zumba® has planned in your region, updates from community leaders, plus provide you with invaluable tools to help you reach the next level in your Zumba® career.

11:30AM-1:00PM
TRAP NATION
Presented by Zumba® Jammer Tommy-Davis Ezeduenor

Learn about Trap, a subgenre of hip hop, in a session packed with choreography breakdowns and innovative new steps. We’ll cover dancing and performing skills and do a special Master Class on a fusion of Trap and the core rhythms of Zumba®. Get ready for fun as you build confidence outside your usual musical comfort zone and learn to incorporate this unique musical style into your class.

1:15PM-2:00PM
TASTE OF THE GET DOWN ZIN™ JAM SESSION
Presented by Gina + Dahrio Wonder (2 of the co-developers of The Get Down ZIN™ JAM Session)

The Get Down ZIN™ Jam Session is a stylistic variation where you’ll learn new styles and routines to integrate into your Zumba® classes – all inspired by Hip-Hop, R&B, Funk and Pop. You’ll get an understanding of the feeling and history behind the styles while mastering the base core moves and the proper technique. These styles are so unique that they are not included in any other ZIN™ Jam session or Zumba® Training.

2:00PM-2:45PM
LUNCH

2:45PM-4:15PM
YALLA HABIBI
Presented by Zumba® Jammer Anna Marchenko

Bring variety with a Middle Eastern twist to your classes. We’ll combine modern Middle Eastern rhythms and Arabic pop with familiar Zumba® steps and the mesmerizing movements of belly dance. Incorporating belly dance and other movements into your Zumba® routines is simple with the easy-to-follow choreography you'll learn in this session.

4:30PM-6:00PM
UNDERGROUND LATINO
Presented by Zumba® Jammer Jeimy Bueno

Get an insider’s look into an undiscovered side of today’s Latin music. Discover a blend of underground reggaeton, current Latin music, and choreography with a unique hip-hop style. We’ll generate new tools (but always using basic steps and progression) based on reggaeton and other genres from the rich Latino musical underground.

6:15PM-7:00PM
CLOSING MASTER CLASS

Close out the day with this exciting and full of energy Master Class.
