Will this be You in the near future?

Be a Part of Creating the Future of Dance Training

The future of dance training will be based on understanding and using methods that utilize this depth of understanding of the whole person. 

Dance Training will encompass more than just training the body.

Understanding of the application of brain science to how people learn best will inform the new teaching methods. 

Learning how to adapt to reach the person before you will be how all teachers will be trained.

You have to Reach if you want to Teach. 

How Certification Works

If you do not wish to become certified, you can simply take whatever course you wish, based on your areas of interest.

However, if you do wish to be certified there is a bundle of courses required for each level and in each of 3 categories that define the principles of a Radiant Dance Teacher.

The 3 Pillars of The Radiant Dance Teacher are:

• Integration
• Embodiment
• Expression

Each pillar has a variety of courses that teach skills and strategies to implement this work in your teaching practice.

Each level layers upon the next, and the levels have been designed to enhance linear progress despite the overlapping of all the skills. 

Certification Requirements:

• Apply to become certified by completing the form below
• Receive approval to join the programme
• Make payment/payment plans for the course bundle (discounted from taking each course without being on the certification programme)
• Complete the course bundle
• Take the courses individually or concurrently
• The order is your choice, however there is a suggested order that is shared upon approval and in your private zoom meeting
• Join and participate in the cohort groups that will meet once a month for Q and A

Following Course Completion:

Upon completion of each level's required courses, you will receive certification in this level AFTER submitting several more steps to illustrate the acquisition of the new knowledge. 

• Submit and receive feedback on 2 classes demonstrated utilization of these methods.
• Complete an interview style quiz responding to questions and offering solutions 
• Submit several essay style questions that demonstrate reflection on own teaching practice and how the Radiant Dance Teacher methodology has impacted your teaching

Why Choose to Become Certified?

The dance industry is so unregulated that is it of concern for many dancers, parents and studio owners.

By embarking on a certification programme you are demonstrating to prospective employers and families that you are serious about elevating your dance training using the latest methods based in science. 

Negotiating for a wage commensurate with certifications will yield a higher teaching wage, much like an RAD registered or PBT certified teacher can and should be rewarded financially for their dedication to the studies. 

So, if you are required to participate in yearly CPD or simply love to learn, why not, do so on a track that will move you step by step closer to a certification?

And with bundle pricing, you will save money too!

As much as I want to travel and teach, I know I cannot do it alone.  I believe so strongly that the principles, strategies and methods  of The Radiant Dance Teacher need to be shared worldwide, there will be the opportunity for interested teachers to become certified to train and certify other teachers.

If after going through all 3 levels, you wish to be a Teacher Trainer, please reach out for an interview.
