The corporate office has confirmed a revised fee structure that accounts for local currency fluctuations. We achieved this adjustment through our collective focus on the exchange rate disparity. I will be monitoring the implementation of these new rates over the coming billing cycle.
With The Rand Dollar exchange instructors are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with the monthly payment... Should you feel that the fee structure should be revised , add your name to the petition
The volume of support has secured a meeting with a regional representative to discuss the current fee structure. I am currently finalizing a formal proposal that outlines the impact of the exchange rate on local instructors.

Absolutely love my ZUMBA, but it is getting more difficult with the exchange rate. some instructors can only give 3 classes per week, and after venue rental and ZIN fees many of them do not make anything, and some even pay in.

Fees in ZAR once converted to rands is very expensive. Finding it difficult to educate myself further due to high costs. Trying to recruit more ZIN's is also a challenge as they immediately get put off when they see the USD prices. Fees must fall or Zumba will become extinct in South Africa....

Fees definitely need to be reconsidered. Even if it's a discount if you pay upfront for 6 months or something but something really needs to be done. People are losing their passion because of this huge expense!

I agree, it's a financial strain for SA zins, due to the declining value of the Rand. The US$ pricing may not seem excessive to US zins, but in this market it would help Zumba keep zins onboard, if there were to lower pricing.

Yes our class attendance have also dropped due to people cutting on expenses as living costs in South Africa has increased a lot. Zumba® is my passion and would hate to give it up due to the the fact that I can't pay the ever so monthly increasing ZIN fees. Please review the ZIN fees for South African Instructors
