Teacher’s Assistant Program

Overview

Our Teacher’s Assistant Program gives experienced and dedicated dancers the opportunity to gain hands-on experience helping in younger classes. This is an entry-level assistant role — not a teaching certification — designed to build leadership skills, learn class flow, and understand the responsibilities of a dance instructor from a support position.

Teacher’s Assistants help keep classes running smoothly by assisting students, demonstrating combinations, and supporting the lead instructor. This program is also a great way to give back to our studio community and inspire the next generation of dancers.
