written by Mancer at on 24.05. at 13:07:38 - as answer to: HOW I CAN GET STARTED by melissa In today's market where dance studios are popping up all over the place there are four things that make a BIG difference in choosing a dance studio or teacher/instructor to learn from. 1) some type of dance degree that shows you dedication (minor or major). 2) some type of actual on stage or off broadway experience (maybe even as a choreogrpher or assistant). 3) some type of cross discipline knowledge (jazz, tap, ballet, pointe, lyrical/modern) is really great as it gives you personal dance diversity. 4) a positive, patient, energetic personality on the instructor's/studio's part. You mention you want to teach dance/ballet class, no so much own or operate a studio. I personally believe that in either case you need some experience to teach with anytype of diversity and be able to group manage; basically, not be reteaching the way you were taught. Professional experiences will give you a "depth of field through actually have accomplished it" or "variety" of ways to teach through learning with other choreographers/instructors. Hope it helps.
