5 Ways to Get Class-Ready at Island Beats

5 Ways to Get Class-Ready at Island Beats Whether you’re joining us for the first time or are a regular at Island Beats, being prepared can make a huge difference in how much you enjoy your class! Here’s a quick guide to ensure you walk in ready to feel the rhythm and maximize the energy. Register & Check-In: The first step is simple but essential: use the PushPress app to register for your class and check in when you arrive. The app makes it easy to see our class schedule, reserve your spot, and breeze through the check-in process once you arrive. It’s your go-to tool for managing your Island Beats experience, so make sure you’ve got it downloaded and ready. Dress for Comfort: Comfort is key when moving to island rhythms. Wear lightweight, breathable clothes that allow you to move freely without feeling restricted. A tank, leggings, or shorts will give you room to groove. Supportive sneakers are also essential—you want to feel grounded but light on your feet. Choose shoes that offer a good mix of cushioning and support so you can move easily without worrying about aches and pains later. Stay Hydrated: It’s amazing how much energy movement takes, and staying hydrated is crucial to keep your energy up throughout the class. Start drinking water about an hour before class to get a head start. Bring a water bottle to take sips between songs and keep that energy flowing. Hydration helps with endurance, so the more you drink, the more you’ll be able to move and groove without feeling exhausted. Pack the Essentials: Besides water, a small towel is helpful, especially if you plan to get sweaty (trust us, you will!). This isn’t one of those classes where you’re just standing around – Island Beats is all about movement and energy! A small towel will keep you feeling fresh and focused on your moves. And don’t forget that positive energy – it’s the best “essential” you can bring! Get Familiar with the Rhythms: We play a blend of island music, from merengue to reggae to salsa. Each rhythm brings a unique energy to our sessions. Want a little preview of what you’ll hear in class? Check out our Island Beats Party playlist.

Self-Promote without Social Media

Self-Promote without Social Media Self-promotion can feel awkward, but it doesn’t have to be loud or forced. You can make it feel natural, empowering, and aligned with who you are. Here’s a list to encourage you to put yourself out there without relying on social media. 1. Be Your Own Hype Woman Speak proudly about your work and passions in everyday conversations. You don’t have to wait for someone else to highlight your talents. Practice casually sharing your wins and what excites you. 2. Get Involved in Community Spaces Attend networking events, book clubs, or local workshops. Show up where people are already gathering and engage authentically with others. You never know when a connection will spark something meaningful. 3. Offer to Speak or Teach in Your Field Host workshops or volunteer to speak at community centers, libraries, or fitness events. It’s a great way to show off your expertise while adding value to others. 4. Collaborate with Other Women Find opportunities to uplift others. Co-host events, team up on projects, or exchange services. Promoting others while sharing your story creates a powerful support system. 5. Wear Your Passion on Your Sleeve Literally or figuratively, girl. Branded clothing, tote bags, or business cards can be conversation starters. Even a dope, confident vibe can attract people curious about your work. 6. Host Gatherings or Meetups Create spaces for others to experience your gifts firsthand—like a Zumba® class, a wellness chat, or a group brunch. Word-of-mouth buzz starts when people connect personally with your energy. 7. Join Professional or Hobby Groups Participate in fitness groups, alumni networks, or professional associations. Be active, share your story, and engage with other members naturally. 8. Carry a Business Card & Elevator Pitch Even if it feels old school, a sleek business card still works! Pair it with a quick elevator pitch about what you do, and hand it out at the right moment when conversations spark. 9. Ask for Testimonials and Recommendations Don’t be afraid to ask clients, friends, or associates to share kind words about you—whether for your business or a personal achievement. Those endorsements help open doors. 10. Lean on the Power of Gratitude Thank people who help or support you along your journey. A handwritten note, email, or coffee invitation can build genuine connections and keep your name in people’s minds. Promoting yourself doesn’t have to feel like bragging. It’s just about being proud of what you bring to the table and sharing your joy with others. There’s no shame in showing up as your best self. When we shine, we light the way for others to do the same!
