Student Teacher Program
At the Listowel School of Dance we want our students to experience every aspect of dance. When the opportunity arises, our senior students may be selected work on the other side of the class room as a student teacher. Through our student teacher program, senior students are guided through the process of teaching. Our senior instructors help them to structure their lesson plans and give them guidance and advice when working with our younger children. We hope this program will improve our student teacher’s understanding of dance for themselves; and will give them experience if they choose to pursue a career as a dance professional or dance instructor.
