okay, so I started taking dance lessons at a franchise studio about 6 months ago.
I'm just curious to know one thing: does anyone know what qualifications and/or what "degrees" these teachers need? How did they become dance teachers? (I'm just talking about the regular teachers, not the franchise directors or anything like that).
Did they start out like most people and did the Bronze, Silver and Gold program from franchise studios, or did they do dance since they were little kids?

And by franchise studios I'm reffering mainly to AM and FA.

If anyone knows, please share because I'm desperate to know!

Thanks

A lot of the instructors at franchised studios start off as actual students from the studio, and some just apply having prior dance experience, and some have never danced before, but they do have the talet to pick it up very quick. Are you interested in becoming a dance instructor, or are you a student taking lessons?

Many are trained by the studio (or another similar one), either as an oustanding student who goes further, or simply as a likely candidate quickly trained to fill a need.

A little secret though. Almost no one actually follows that progression of levels they draw out for you when trying to sell your first package. Look around. See any gold students? See many silver students? The plan may look good on paper, but most drop out and the few who continue probably don't end up actually following that plan.
