How to become a certified dance fitness instructor
Become An Instructor - SHINE Dance Fitness
SHiNE Instructors are so much more than fitness coaches. They are:
- Life changers who create a space for students to come alive and gain confidence on AND off the dance floor.
- Booty shakers who know how to get down and not hold back, allowing students to do the same. That’s when the magic happens!
- Smile makers who know the value of play and don’t take themselves too seriously. Every SHiNE class is full of smiles and authentic joy, and the world needs more of that!
Who can be a Shine Instructor?
We want to tell you right here and now – you DON’T have to be a certain weight, age, or have any dance experience to be a SHiNE Instructor. We’re looking for leaders who are passionate about making a difference in their own life and the lives of others. We want people who value connection and see the bigger picture beyond burning calories and building muscles.
WHAT’S A SHINE INSTRUCTOR TRAINING LIKE?
Join other future SHiNE instructors from around the world by participating in a personalized online training program led by the Founder of SHiNE, Kendall Nielson, as well as a dedicated Mentor to guide you through this positive experience. Because SHiNE Instructor training is extensive and we do not want to overwhelm future Instructors, we’ve found the most effective way to do training is over a 3-week period. You’ll get an email every Monday with new content to review and assignments to keep you engaged and connected. You’ll also participate in a weekly virtual call with your training Mentor. SHiNE is recognized by AFAA (11 CEUs Live, 10 CEUs Online), NASM (1.1 CEUs Live, 1.0 CEUs Online), and ACE (1.5 CECs Live, 1.4 CECs Online) as a Continuing Education Provider.
Live, 1-day trainings are offered on occasion, so be sure to see what trainings are currently available!
Live and online trainees are required to submit a video of themselves teaching the signature SHiNE warmup and two pre-selected routines.
We’ll walk you through this process so you feel prepared and confident to teach your first official SHiNE class. Here’s what some of our Instructors have to say about the training process.
I appreciate that you’re very clear in what you’re looking for and evaluating in the SHiNE instructor training process, but more than anything, I feel like you’ve created a safe space for gals of any dance skill level to feel comfortable to start out and grow. I’m impressed by the community you’ve created and grateful…
Thanks to SHiNE for an amazing, life changing course that has built my confidence so much! Thank you for providing literally the best training mentor in the world, and for creating the best brand in the world with the best culture and values.
I am loving this Instructor online training ~ it has been such a fun, helpful, and personal stretching time for me.
This training has been so thorough and helpful in developing me as an instructor. I am a lot more conscious when I learn a new song that I follow the formula of learning choreography, memorising the music, verbal and non verbal cueing, and focussing on the STUDENTS, instead of worrying about ME trying to deliver…
It was really clear in terms of what we needed to do.
The evaluation came across as a way to help us become better instructors to ultimately give our participants a more positive, effective, safe and fun experience. It was also clear that the team at SHiNE’s intention is to be supportive, constructive and kind…

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
During SHiNE Instructor training, we discuss the power and fundamentals of dance fitness. Participants learn the seven qualities of a successful SHiNE Instructor, as well as how to create a playlist that is safe, effective, and FUN! We teach you the signature SHiNE warmup and break down technique, choreography, cues, modifications, student engagement, and showmanship. Most importantly, you learn to build your own SHiNE Tribe by creating community and opportunities for connection.
WHAT’S THE INVESTMENT?
SHiNE Instructor training is a one-time investment ranging from $249-$299 depending on training format and early-bird options.
This includes CEUs through AFAA (11 CEUs Live, 10 CEUs Online), NASM (1.1 CEUs Live, 1.0 CEUs Online), and ACE (0.7 CECs Live, 1.47 CECs Online).
After completing training and submitting your evaluation video, you’re eligible to join the Instructor portal and our private Instructor Facebook group with hundreds of fellow SHiNE Instructors from all over the world! Joining the Instructor portal grants you access to TONS of perks (check out the list below), and the support in this community is like no other – you feel the love right away! To gain access to all the resources and support, an ongoing SHiNE Instructor Membership is purchased for $24.99/month or $255/year (best value).
Depending on your chosen business model, you may need to independently lease a location, secure group fitness music licensing and/or liability insurance. SHiNE Dance Fitness does not provide these services but can definitely give recommendations.

Yes! You can make a partial payment for either training option, the 1-Day Virtual Training, or the Live In-Person training. You can pay half up front and the remaining half 4 days before your scheduled training event. Simply choose the "Make A Payment" button for your desired training.
What and how much do I have to pay after I have completed the training?
Once you've completed your training and passed your virtual assessment, you will need to activate your subscription to The D3CK for $30/month. Our online membership portal is where all of our G3 instructors get the resources and materials they need to set them up for success.

70/month or choose the annual subscription for only $25/month.
Every month subscribed to The D3CK; you will receive weekly choreography and 1 new exclusively curated DJ Set.
What's the difference between the Virtual Training and the In-Person Training?
The only difference between the two is whether or not you'd like to train in-person or virtually from the comfort of your home. Either 1-Day training goes through the entire training course in one 9-hour workday. There will be 30 minutes set aside for lunch and 2 - 15 minute breaks. After you complete the day, you will have 30 days to complete the online quizzes and submit your video assessment of proficiency.
What happens after I've completed my training?

Each person will receive dedicated feedback and be given a pass or practice. Once passed, you officially become a G3 and will be certified to start GROOV3ING! AND. . . you'll get immediate support to help you see success within the first 90 days!

What happens if I don't pass the certification?
You can take some time, practice, and try again! After the 3rd attempt without passing, you will have to retake the training.
Do I need to have dance experience?
Even though our dance floor is meant for everyone, it does help to have either dance or teaching experience. You can always take a virtual GROOV3 class to get started.
