If you're a dance teacher right now, you may be thinking:

 

Am I doing a good enough job?? 🥴

 

How do I get the class to stop talking over me??🥴

 

How can I get better pay??🥴

 

And I get it, because I’ve been there!

The biggest obstacles many dance teachers have all revolve around confidence and competence.

After talking with hundreds of dance teachers over the last couple years, many of the stories I hear are very similar..

Maybe you feel the same way? 👇

  • What's the best way to structure my classes?
  • I'm trained in dance but undertrained in how to teach 
  • How can I keep my students interested and motivated?
  • Will the class respect me? What if they don't follow my rules?
  • How much should I be getting paid?
  • How do I come up with fresh class material consistently?
  • Where do I go for resources and my own professional growth?

Uncertainty. Pressure to perform. Insecurity. Frustration.

BUT...THESE FEELINGS ARE NORMAL!

We're dancers, with many years of experience and expertise.

But those aren’t teaching skills!

And that’s why you’re here! To learn to TEACH more effectively...welcome!

The Full-time Dance Teacher Intensive is a 4-week online training program that will show you how to plan lessons, manage a classroom and land better opportunities! 

Curriculum Overview👇

This 4-Week Comprehensive Program is a Hybrid Live Learning and Anytime Access Portal.  

There are 4 Modules hosted inside your portal that you can go through at your own pace and can access anytime

— even after the Intensive is over!  

Each Module includes in-depth course material and resources, assignments, templates, and a weekly live training and Q + A session with Angela.

 

Module 1: Career Development

Craft a standout resume and cover letter tailored to teaching positions, crush your interview process, and develop your teaching philosophy and brand based on your unique voice, experience and values. 

Live Training and Q + A Spotlight: "Creating Your Personal Dance Teacher Brand" 

 

Module 2: Teaching Methods

Learn how to plan your lessons with ease, and create and organize a curriculum. 

Master effective teaching methods, foster an inclusive learning environment among different levels, ages and abilities, and strategies on providing constructive feedback.

Live Training and Q + A Spotlight: "Increasing Motivation and Engagement Among Students" 

 

Module 4: Business Skills + Financial Literacy

Dancers are taught to follow directions and to be quiet. We aren't taught business skills, self-promotion, or how to determine rates for our work.

We'll dive into all of it, plus tips on how to make more money as a dance teacher, strategies for going full-time, and utilizing social media!

Live Training and Q + A Spotlight: "Entrepreneurial Essentials for Dance Educators" 

 

BONUS Module 5: Class Material

This section alone will save you hundreds of dollars + HOURS in planning!

Included with the purchase of this program is access to several of my Beginner Ballet, Beginner Contemporary, Improv, and Creative Movement Class Material Packs. All the time you spend outside of the studio planning…you just got it back!

 "Angela's dance teacher training intensive is such a useful tool! It is a comprehensive course from getting the job to doing it well. 

Dance teachers will benefit from her methodical approach to teaching and will learn that being organized and intentional will save them a lot of time/energy in the long run. And the assignments built into the course create accountability for the material she teaches. I think her course is a steal especially with the access to her online library of tools."

Hi, I'm Angela! 👋

the founder of FULLTIMEDANCETEACHER.

By the time I was 22 years old, I had over a decade of dance training and a college degree in dance...

but no idea how to go into a studio and successfully teach young people.

I spent years working part-time in various schools, “figuring it out” by doing and making mistakes (lots of them!).

In 2021, fed up with barely getting by working 50+ hours/week in an office job,

I decided to go all in on making teaching dance my full-time career.

Since making this transition, I’ve been able to solely focus on work that interests and fulfils me, have more freedom in making my own schedule, more time to dance myself, and make a sustainable income. 

At FULLTIMEDANCETEACHER, I’ve made it my mission to provide dance teachers with the training, resources, and business strategies that took me years to learn.

"Very useful tools for training as a dance teacher, tools to apply in class, organization and development, and also necessary tools to consider on an economic level.

"Because of your module about applying for a teaching job, I felt confident enough to apply to a new studio and that was a big deal for me. So I thank you for inspiring me to finally step out of my comfort zone and feel prepared to do so."
