This isn't a test of your advanced technique. It’s about showing us you understand the mindset and strategies that help new dancers feel confident and keep them coming back. 


 This is about your alignment with our core values. 


If you share this philosophy, it will shine through, and you’ll be ready to join our Certified Teacher List. 


 Let’s raise the standard of social dance teaching together.

What Dancers Struggle With Most (and How We Fix It)

Not enough knowledge → Lesson plans + clear breakdowns. 

 Getting new students → Proven strategies to fill your floor. 

 Confidence in teaching → Presentation & correction skills. 

 Professional credibility → Teacher Certification included.

I spent years struggling with low attendance and losing dancers… until I invested $20,000+ learning the real strategies. 

Now, I’ve distilled it all into one shortcut for you
