How to Become a ChiChi Fit Instructor

Everything you need to know, from booking your training to teaching your first class.

Step 1: Book Your Training

✨ Train from home
✨ Learn at your own pace
✨ No previous dance training or fitness qualifications required
✨ Relevant experience useful

Step 2: Complete Your Training

Most instructors complete the training in one full day, plus practice time.

You have a full 6 weeks to work through the content, learn the choreography, build confidence, and prepare for assessment.

Every routine is delivered in multiple formats to suit different learning styles, including:

✅ Teaching videos
✅ Step-by-step instruction videos
✅ Written choreography notes and lyrics

Simply watch, learn, practise, and repeat.

Step 3: Welcome-to-the-Cast Zoom Call with Danella

When you’re ready, you’ll book a friendly Welcome-to-the-Cast Zoom assessment with ChiChi Fit founder, Danella Mercati.

You’ll lead Danella through ChiChi Fit’s signature routine, Fabulous Baby.

Think of it as an opportunity to dance with Danella, receive valuable feedback, build confidence, ask questions, and take your first exciting step as a ChiChi Fit instructor.

Step 4: You’re Licensed!

Once you pass your assessment, you’ll become a licensed ChiChi Fit Instructor.

Your first year’s licence is included in your training fee. It renews annually for £99.

You’ll also gain access to:

✨ Box Office
✨ Instructor Community
✨ Ongoing support and guidance

What Is Box Office?

Box Office is where you find all of ChiChi’s routines to create your classes.

Every routine includes choreography, teaching guidance, and resources.

Categories include:

🎭 Warm Up
💃 Low Cardio
🔥 High Cardio
💪 Strength
🌟 Cool Down & stretching

No choreography creation required. We’ve done the hard work for you to fit ChiChi’s unique dance fitness formula.

Box Office Routines

Routines are purchased individually as and when you need them.

Prices range from approximately £6–£18 per routine.

You are never expected to buy routines every month.

Many instructors teach the same routines for extended periods because familiarity helps members build confidence and master the choreography.

You choose what to buy, when to buy it, and how quickly to grow your collection.
