What is the difference between a branded and non-branded format?
Club Vibe and Shazzy Vibe are branded dance fitness formats. Branded programs have guidelines in which an instructor should follow in order to represent the brand. Maintaining a content subscription, and following guidelines/formula allow for license for brand usage. Branded formats supply content (pre-choreographed routines) for their instructors to use in their classes and a methodology behind how to teach the brand. Branded formats also connect instructors to a community as well as receive special benefits when it comes to marketing through the brand. If you wish to become a Club Vibe or Shazzy Vibe instructor there is an additional mini workshop for brand specific guidelines.
Dance Fit Pro is a non-branded program. It is for those who enjoy or wish to teach general “dance fitness” without being tied to a branded format, requirement or licensing agreement. It allows for complete creativity on behalf of instructor, class, and routine selection (mix and match from any source). Our Instructor Training provides universal teaching principals that can be applied to any dance fitness class. There are no requirements to subscribe for content/routines, but a subscription package is available if desired.
What does it cost to get trained and licensed as a Dance Fitness Instructor?
There is a one-time registration fee to attend training. Regular price for 8 hour instructor training is $249 per person. Sign up early and save on the registration price. Early Bird pricing is $199 and ends 2 weeks prior to the training date.
Your Club Vibe or Shazzy Vibe license are activated with DFP Content Subscription for continuing content, support and resources for $19.99 month with first month free when sign up at training
If you choose to teach your own brand, but would like to sign up during training for the optional content subscription, choose from standard subscription price of $14.99 or $22.99 with access to all Vibe Fitness LIVEStream and Premium On Demand subscription ($180 yearly value).
How does recertification/renewal work?
For our branded programs (Club Vibe/Shazzy Vibe), as long as you maintain your DFP Content Subscription, you do not need to recertify or renew. There is not a separate licensing fee. Your licensing is indefinite with an active membership.
There is no licensing fee for non-branded (Dance Fit Pro).
However, be on the lookout for additional, non-required, educational opportunities, workshops and clinics to complement and supplement your certification.
Will you come and conduct an Instructor Training at my location?
We are always seeking organizations to partner with. In order for us to travel to your community, we require a minimum of 10 registered attendees from your area or institution at least 3 months prior to us confirming the date or publicly promoting the workshop. If your location is on the west coast, this minimum may be higher. For those who are interested in obtaining an instructor license but do not meet the minimum requirements for sponsoring a live training, join a LIVEStream training!
I’m already a fitness professional. Can I earn continuing education credits if I attend training?
Yes! You will receive CEC’s and a certificate upon completion of training. We are an official ACE and AFAA Continuing Education Provider. If you register and attend any instructor training and are currently certified by AFAA, you will receive AFAA Continuing Education Units (CEUs) if you are certified by ACE, you will receive ACE Continuing Education Units.
What if I need to cancel my Instructor Training reservation?
If you cannot attend the training you have registered for and notify us in writing 30 days prior to the date, you will receive a full refund. If it is 15-30 days prior we will refund all but $50.00. If you cancel 14 (or less) days prior to the training we do not offer any refund. You may choose to transfer your training payment to a different training date within the same calendar year for a $25 fee. If you had previously paid a discount rate, that will be applied to the rate of the training you wish to transfer to and you will be responsible for the balance.
