Students learn dance in a number of ways, and a successful teacher can accommodate all students’ needs. You will begin by understanding how you learn and what your goals are as a teacher. Then, you will proceed to creating a dance philosophy that will guide you in becoming a more effective educator.
In this course, you will learn how to:
- Define and refine your personal philosophy of teaching dance
- Develop objectives for your teaching
- Cultivate goals for your students
- Apply various teaching methods in order to accommodate different learning styles
- Offer effective feedback and evaluation
Certification is awarded when a comprehensive understanding and mastery of the material is demonstrated. If this does not occur by the end of the series, then students will need to arrange for additional coach sessions.
