A school can have excellent dancers and still lose students. Dancing well and teaching well are two different skills — and the second one can be learned.
The usual path for a dance teacher is to start teaching because they dance well, and learn to teach along the way. It half works: the class runs on intuition, the content changes from day to day, and corrections depend on whatever the teacher happens to remember at that moment.
The cost doesn't show in the first month — it shows in retention. A student who doesn't feel progress stops coming, and rarely says why. A structured methodology turns that into something repeatable: any teacher on the team can deliver the same class with the same criteria.
We have spent years working with a methodology built and refined class after class, designed so that students genuinely progress. That's what we pass on to your team: not theory, but what we know works in a real room with real students.
How to plan a 60 or 90 minute session: warm-up, a single objective, progression and closing. Why a class with one objective teaches more than one with five.
How to build a programme that actually advances: what comes before what, when a student is ready to move up, and how to stop beginner and intermediate from becoming the same class.
Spotting what's really failing in a student — which is almost never what it looks like at first glance — and correcting it with a cue they can apply on the spot.
Mixed levels, role imbalance, rotations and class pace. What separates a class that works from one that gets away from the teacher.
The sensual or Dominican bachata content your team needs: what has to be taught well, and which mistakes get passed from teacher to student without anyone noticing.
Intensive training for your teaching team at your own venue, adapted to the number of teachers and their starting level.
A teacher training module as part of a festival or congress programme, running alongside the workshops.
A programme spread across several sessions over time, with work in between, for schools that prefer to settle each part before moving on.
All three formats are delivered in Spanish or English. Tell us how many teachers you have and their level, and we'll propose the format that fits best.
For schools, academies and festivals that want to train their teaching team. We work with a centre's group of teachers, not with individual students. If you organise a festival, it can also be programmed as a module within the event.
It's enough that they dance and are already teaching or about to start. The work isn't about dancing but about teaching: methodology, progression, correction and group management. We adapt the content to the team's real starting point.
A way of working: how to structure a class, build a level progression, correct with criteria and manage the group. It isn't a certificate, it's a methodology the team can apply from the following week and that unifies how the whole centre teaches.
It depends on the format, the number of teachers and whether it runs intensively or in blocks. Send us those details from the booking page and we'll come back with a specific proposal.
Spanish and English. For international festivals with teams from several countries, English is the usual choice.
Yes, and at festivals that's the most common setup: teacher training is programmed alongside the workshops and the show. Concentrating it into a single trip also makes the budget go further.
