Hello there..

I need some advice on what I have to do to be an instructor. I've been taking lessons and doing what I need to do, but I really want to work my up to a more professional level. I'm not really sure where to start.
Please help!

Thanks!

Why not talk to your current teachers about your ambitions and goals? They would be able to give you an idea of what you would need to do, and point you in the direction of a teacher training program in your area if there is one. And if there isn't one, maybe one of them would work with you to prepare you for taking one of the teaching exams.

Hey thanks for responding..actually my teachers are the ones who brought it to my attention that I should do it, and that they "never tell that to anyone, unless they mean it.."...should i be cautious as to weather or not they could just want to keep me paying for lessons?

Which chain studio do you go to? AM or FA?

Do a search about this on this site. You'll find plenty of people who were told they should become 'pros' in these chain studios.

Remember, these chains also advertise for people to become dance instructors in the newpapers and online - 'no experience necessary' - and put them on the floor after 6 weeks...
