WORK STUDY

These students assist regular curriculum classes during our regular session (September-May). This is a training program for students who would like to be instructors as they get older. They are expected to memorize the curriculum for the classes they assist, and asked lead the class various times throughout the season. When the dancers lead class, the head instructor will evaluate their teaching skills. Dancers have meetings with head instructor to go over the evaluation and learn ways to improve their teaching style. This program teaches students accountability, time management, and patience. We love providing this opportunities for our middle school students to step up at leaders and become role models for our young dancers.
