It’s All About Careers in Dance
Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, Ballroom Boot Camp and other shows about partnership dancing have been quite popular in 2005. An average of 28.3 MILLION people watched each episode of Dancing with the Stars, a VERY impressive statistic that highlights the current interest in Ballroom and Latin dancing.
There is so much interest in this type of partnership dancing that dance studios and dance teachers are finding it difficult to fit everyone in for lessons. That, in turn, has created a huge demand for qualified and highly trained dance instructors at all levels.
Recognizing the need for trained and highly qualified dance teachers, Phillip Stephens – one of the world’s most highly certified dance educators – introduced his Become a Teacher training courses with resounding success. If you want in on the cutting edge of this exciting time in the dance industry, here’s your opportunity to create a career that you will never grow tired of.
Starting with the fundamentals of Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Rumba, Cha Cha, Bolero, Swing and Mambo, Phillip prepares instructors at the Bronze, Silver and Gold levels in American Smooth and Rhythm styles of Ballroom Dancing. He also offers courses in the Alternative Rhythm dances of West Coast Swing, Salsa, Merengue and American Samba.
New courses will be starting in January, 2006; for details, contact Phillip Stephens via PhilTex44@aol.com, or call 713-248-2299
Training is also available at all levels in the International Ballroom style of Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep and Tango, and in the International Latin style of Samba, Cha Cha, Rumba, Paso Doble and Jive.
To allow for more personal attention, class size is limited to 20 people.
Job placement assistance is available with career opportunities all across the country.
Training covers not only on what to teach, but how to teach it. This involves all facets of how to lead, how to follow, how to count music, various ways of explaining dance in lay terms and more.
All are welcome: Amateur dancers who have no plans to actually become a dance teacher will find the information covered in these courses to be of tremendous benefit in understanding their own dance training.
