Teacher Dance Training

When you complete one of the DC Dance Teacher Training programs you will receive a certificate of completion from DC Dance Club. The certificate of completion is different from professional certification. This is a valuable accomplishment, and it will serve as a credential for your dance resume including being an asset to your career. The certificate you will receive when you pass your certification exam will able you to attract new students and earn more for your services.

The process of preparing for your certification exam will teach you dance concepts you may not have fully understood, you will improve both your verbal and presentation skills. You will learn the vocabulary for describing the technical elements of dance figures, and you will improve your knowledge of proper alignments.

Advantage of certifying with DVIDA is that you can take your professional certification exams “one dance at a time”. For example, the Bronze American Style Latin certification includes four dances; Rumba, Cha-Cha, E/C Swing, Bolero. With DVIDA’s exams you have the option of testing in each dance separately, one at a time. This makes the preparation much easier; you can learn the material more thoroughly. After successfully completing each dance exam, you receive a “Certification of completion” for that dance.

Attendance; This course is designed to develop dance teachers, therefore a lot of material will be covered at a fairly fast pace, missing too many classes is not advised, as you can easily fall behind. If you do miss a class you can generally arrange to work with one of the other teacher trainees to help you catch up. You can also schedule a private lesson (for an additional private lesson fee) to make up any work you miss. Becoming a dance teacher takes time, commitment and dedication. Shoes: All teacher trainees will be expected to have proper dance shoes. You can purchase dance shoes from DC Dance Club or any dance shoe retailer.
