Studio J's Assistant Teacher Program is an excellent way for our dancers to be more involved with dance in a different way.  Our training program is a way to help them develop both dance and life skills. Our trainees will:

​

• Experience dance from a different angle

• Improve personal technical understanding 

• Gain the ability to break down and communicate the “how and why” of the movement

• Learn notation and documentation methods

• Develop leadership and mentoring skills

• Manage and lead a class and/or group

• See value in all students, regardless of level 

• Receive an overall introduction to education from a teacher perspective

• Develop potential to make teaching a career.
