Credits: The introductory teacher training workshop is considered a comprehensive introductory training that provides the necessary knowledge and skills for those in the Dance Teacher track to begin leading classes. To be eligible to become a Dance for PD Certified Teacher requires the completion of this introductory workshop, 20 hours of additional training and 50 hours of teaching in the field.
Coordination of programs: Dance for PD classes may already exist in or be planned for your community. Since Dance for PD programs function collaboratively rather than competitively, we'd like you to be aware of local programs that are on-going or about to be launched. These programs may be looking for additional teachers or assistants. We can help you make contact with local teachers and coordinators. To find a list of classes around the world, please click here.
Teaching program: If you are registering for the Dance Teacher program, you acknowledge that you have already completed the online questionnaire. The questionnaire can be accessed here.
