Having a dance teaching qualification will allow you the freedom and security to develop your dancing career in whichever way you choose. Your experience over three years at Studio Dance will increase your dancing and performance skills, as well as your confidence, poise and belief in yourself, all qualities which will stand you in good stead when going for auditions.
Your dream may be to perform, but the reality is that the world of dance is highly competitive and there may be times when you find yourself without a contract for a number of months. With your Associate dance teaching qualification, you have the option of filling any gaps in your performing schedule with an income source in the form of lessons for dance pupils.
After a number of years as a performer, you may decide that your future career lies in the direction of teaching. However finding the time to do a three year training course at this stage in your life may be difficult. If you already have the Associate qualification you will be able to apply for jobs, or start up your own business, without the need for any further training.
"Teaching dance is a wonderful progression for people who love to dance and want to inspire that feeling in others."
