Advantages:

In becoming a certified Salsa Babies® instructor, you will benefit from the branding and positive reputation Salsa Babies has established since 2002. As well, if you become a “member” you will have access to marketing and ongoing training materials to help keep your classes fresh. At the same time you will be your own boss and have the autonomy to make decisions and set your schedule around your families’ needs as well.

Not only will you be provided with the tools you need to get started, members will have the option of listing their classes on the Salsa Babies® Web Site for higher visibility and increased enrollment. Members will also receive product discounts and will be eligible to participate in many of our affiliate and cross-promotional programs with companies such as Mabel’s Labels® and Fitmom®.

How it works:

Certification is as easy as
1 – 2 – 3, Cha! Cha! Cha!

Step 1

There is a one-time course fee of $235 CAD. Additional programs such as Salsa Tots®, Salsa Kids®, Salsa Bellies® or Belly Dancin’ BabiesTM may be added at a discount of 20%. The course fee includes access to our online training DVD, class outline, and health and safety materials.

Note: All prenatal classes require pre-postnatal fitness certification. Click here for information on discounted rates and certification programs custom-tailored for Salsa Babies® instructors through our affiliate company Fitmom®.

Step 2

Once you are comfortable with the training materials, you will write an exam online and submit an audition video. An outline stating specifications and requirements for the audition will be provided.

Step 3

Upon successful completion of the exam and audition you will be granted a Salsa Babies Instructor Certificate and will be eligible for our membership program.

Instructors will have flexibility in determining the number of classes, class location, price and schedule. We ask as a courtesy to other instructors that in urban communities you keep a 1.5 mile (2.5 km) radius from other existing instructor locations (5 miles or 8 km in rural regions).
