Dance Teaching (CERT)
The goal of the Dance Teaching Foundations Certificate is to familiarize students with basic methodologies to teach multiple dance genres in classroom and studio settings. Courses deepen studies into the historical, pedagogical, anatomical, and stylistic roots of techniques students are seeking to teach; while preparing them to apply for dance and dance-related jobs in studio, classroom, and alternative settings. Students must complete the required courses with a minimum 2.0 GPA.
