ABOUT DANCE TEACHER CERTIFICATION

Dance & Gym USA is an independent Dance Teacher Certification Association that was established in 1982 to recognize dedicated, qualified instructors who are committed to maintaining superior teaching standards in a positive atmosphere of creative learning. Only those instructors who present acceptable credentials and are deserving of recognition will be certified.

Instructors must demonstrate a working knowledge of ballet terminology as well as correct body alignment, turn-out and placement.

Dance Classes must be structured in such a way that proper warm-ups are an integral part of each class. Technique must be age appropriate with practical and realistic expectations of dance students. Instructors must demonstrate an understanding that each individual student will learn at her own pace and the lessons must be non-discriminatory in nature.
