2010 Zumba Instructor Convention - Aqua Zumba™ Boost

This year there were two classes geared toward Aqua Zumba™ instructors. One was the day-long Aqua Zumba instructor training workshop. The other was a 3 hour "Aqua Zumba Boost" session specifically for those who were already licensed to teach Aqua Zumba.

Since I had already taken the Aqua Zumba workshop twice in the past 12 months I decided to skip it at the convention this year, so I don't have much information about if/how the workshop has changed. I did, however, attend the boost session.

Here is a brief review of my experience at the Aqua Zumba Boost session.


1. Zumba Formula - We received more information on how to break down Mega Mix songs and choreograph them for Aqua Zumba.

2. Instructor technique - Maria explained and demonstrated how to move the body in order to appear to fight buoyancy instead of gravity. Not only does this make the moves easier for the students to understand, but it helps to force the instructor to reduce their jumping.

3. Hands-On Training - The class was small, about 25 people, and ZES’s Maria and Madeline (??) walked around correcting our form and giving us feedback while we worked in teams to create choreography. In my opinion this was profoundly helpful and reassuring!!

4. Master Class/October DVD Preview - Not only was the master class in the pool a lot of fun, but it was the exact same choreography that would be in the DVD we all get in October. That made me SO happy because then I could enjoy the class without worrying about notes.

I am not sure what will be offered at the convention next year or if things will stay the same, but if they offer the Aqua Boost again I hope this information helps some of you decide whether or not to sign up for it.

Written Choreography

A = slalom with a tuck (arms are straight out and both feet jump together from side to side, as if jumping over a line

O = slow high knee jogs, alternating arms while pushing forward with the palms

W = slow water jog with hands pressed together pushing in the opposite direction of the landing foot

B = torso is steady as both legs push down. Hands are joined at the chest, elbows are out to the sides, palms are facing out and they pump out in time with the legs as the legs push down

S = Leap to the left and right at 1/2 water tempo with resisting arms. Arms and palms push out in the direction of the leap.

La Piragua (Cumbia)

Title: La Piragua

This song is also available in about 50 different versions on iTunes, but most of them are different from the one on ZIN.

Written Choreo


o = Intro

A = two cumbia side steps (leaps) to the right with assisting arms, then two leaps to the left with assisting arms. TEMPO = very slow! 1/2 water tempo. One leap for every 4 beats of music. This is a Level 2 move.

P = fast hand chops in the water at 1 or 2x land tempo. Slice the water for the least amount of resistance. Both feet are planted firmly on the floor of the pool. This is a grounded move.

O = Rotate/isolate the hips and stomp one foot while traveling similar to land tempo. This is a grounded move. Make sure the class is not floating or up on their toes otherwise they will not have enough traction to travel. (R) means travel to the right (L) means travel to the left "Circle" means stand in place and do a cumbia stomp turn OUT in the direction you were already traveling, not in like we do on land. You will hear/feel all this in the music. Don't stress over when to switch legs or when to turn.

Written Choreography

o = single, single, double side steps with assisting arms (if the class has trouble with this suggest that they move to shallower water)

X = twist jump (single single double) the class keeps their torso still and the focus is on pushing the legs down not on jumping as you will on the deck

K = alternating lunge with hand push down

A = leg lifts to the side (alternate right and left like a slow tick-tock)

R = hop on the right leg to the right (The class hops and moves to the right, but in the video I demonstrate how to stand in one spot and not hop)

L = hop on the left leg to the left

Z = Like part "A" but twice the speed and smaller range of motion.

o = single, single, double arms do scissors in front of the body

| = arms meet in the center, parallel to the pool floor, and move laterally making a "T" shape with the body. Return the arms to center. (do 4 with the beat of the music) keep hands cupped to increase resistance

W = Biceps/triceps are parallel to the pool floor and even with the shoulders. Forearms are parallel with the body and the palms are facing back. Rotate the arm at the shoulder until the palms are facing the pool floor and floating on the surface of the pool. Keep arms flexed at a 90 degree angle. Return to original position. (time for 8)

R = Biceps/triceps are parallel to the pool floor and even with the shoulders. Flex and extend the arm at the elbow joint. At the beginning of the motion the palms are facing down toward the pool floor. At the end of the motion the palms are facing up toward the ceiling. (time for 8)

I = intro - Slalom in place with a tuck to the beat of the music. (8)

O = front step with the right, middle step with the left, back step with the right. Arms open out when the right foot is down. (1/2 tempo to the music). For more intensity propel. For less intensity decrease range of motion, and do not propel. Switch and do it on the left side. (8 with the right leg leading, the 8 with the left leg leading)

A= in a wide leg stance push down with both feet to the beat of the music (like mini wide-legged tuck jumps) while slowly turning in a circle. Repeat and turn in the other direction.

X = twisting tuck jumps

B = raise hands over the head and swirl them around while gyrating the hips

C = double hops right and left with knee lifts, "swim" the arms forward in a groovy manner

/ = scissors with the arms in the water, with open palms for more resistance, single single double. For less resistance flex the arms more. For more resistance extend the arms further from the body.

V = hop on the left leg, while the right leg lifts up and swings in a arc to the front, side, back position. Switch and repeat this on the right leg. The movement is front, middle, back, down, front middle, back, down on the beat.

Written Choreography

A= move forward and backward with hop kicks, with arms assisting the direction of movement.

B= Standard water tempo jog with wide legs. Standard alternating arms. For more detail on the arms: they are flexed at the elbows, moving parallel to the ground from front to back along the transverse plane (oh yes, I went there) along with the supporting leg.

C= 3 wide-leg tuck jumps (lyrics: here we go) with a cross turn to the left (lyrics: allez allez allez!) Switch the direction of the turn based on your class's coordination, but make sure you do alternate it at least once to work both sides.

# = SHAKE IT with feet firmly planted on the ground.
