You might be a recently retired Police Officer with a passion for dance and abundant time to pursue your training with Ballroom Dance Teachers College. Or, you could be a college student taking a semester off with the goal of covering our entire 17 dance curriculum in a four month accelerated, customizable program. There is also the possibility that you are a busy professional with the very slimmest amount of time available and you can only spare one to two weeks a year toward training for your DVIDA certification exams. Perhaps you are an already certified dance teacher looking to teach more richly detailed, more dynamic lessons. We have programs available for every level of dancer that can accommodate even the most impossible of schedules. Read more to see which option is right for you!
These programs are designed for busy people who want to work toward their dream of becoming Professional Ballroom Dance Instructors without quitting their day jobs. These are, by far, the most popular programs with group training sessions taking place during weekday evenings.
No weekends required!
This option is ideal for prospective teachers who are ready for complete immersion in the world of ballroom dance. For this program, you will attend the regularly scheduled group classes along with two private lessons per week. It is the best of both worlds; you get the benefit of working with your classmates in the group classes with all of the bonuses of receiving individual attention in your private lessons.
This program is best suited for out of town students, with a minimum of one year of dance study, who would like to devote themselves entirely to their dance teacher training. You will attend the regularly scheduled group classes, as well as approximately six private lessons with one of our Master Instructors each week. The schedule is customizable and will be arranged to accommodate yours and your Master Instructor’s calendars. Some people just aren’t morning people. Some need to be in bed early. Some need an afternoon nap. This will all be taken into account!
These one or two week programs are geared toward preparing students with a solid grasp of the material for their DVIDA certification exams. These intensives are very specific in their focus and are great for people who have already gone through our teacher training program that might want a review of the coursework before booking an appointment with their local Examiner. Intensives are also great for students travelling from out of town who only have limited time to pursue their teacher training.
