The Steps
Choose 2 dance styles you want to focus on during the program. Be sure you are comfortable with our syllabus and execution of level 1 steps (as leader and as follower). In the end of your 1st term all teacher trainees will be tested on their skills during dance intensives and pass offs. Term 1 lasts 2-6 months depending on student's progress.
Term 2 includes: TAing Level 1 group classes, completing class assignments, learning and getting tested in Level 2 syllabus, teaching small section of Live Level 1 group classes, shadowing private lessons and attending a monthly Teaching Methods class. The term lasts 4-8 months depending on student's progress in monthly evaluations.
Once you are confident in your own dancing skills & ability to teach dance theory, you are welcome to schedule two interviews.
The 1st will have to do with your personality, attitude, professionalism and ability to fit well within DF Dance Studio work culture and represent its values. Position at DF studio is never guaranteed and may depend on current need / demand.
The 2nd interview is a dance interview, where you will be passing off DF syllabus's over video and in person. Once completed, you will be welcomed to the team as a Junior 1 instructor to teach basic date night & drop-in classes.Dance Styles We Teach
