Selecting the right dance studio is the first step in your child’s dance experience, but now you need to select the right dance instructor. Here are some tips to help you pick the right instructor for your child’s needs.

How to Choose a Dance Instructor for Your Child

  • Dance style – The first step in selecting the right dance instructor is deciding what kind of dance style your child is interested in learning. Then, after you know what style they want to learn you can start to look at specific instructors. If you are unsure what style of dance, then select an instructor that offers a variety of dance styles so that you can try a few out.
  • Goals – You will want to know what your child’s goals are in dance. If they want to competitively dance, then you will want to select an instructor that offers competitive dance classes. If they are looking to get into a dance academy, then you will want to select an instructor with formal training in your chosen dance style. If your child is looking for a fun and recreational dance experience, then selecting an instructor who is fun and offers several different dance classes will be ideal.
  • Reviews – Search for reviews online for the dance instructors that you are thinking about using. Some of the best reviews will come from other dance parents. So, don’t be afraid to go talk to some of the other dance parents to see how they like the dance instructor.
