RDC Dance Teacher Training

09/09/2026

Turn your passion for dance into something bigger 🙌

Being a great dancer is one thing. Learning how to take that knowledge and use it to educate, encourage and bring out the best in others is another.

At RDC, you’ll explore the skills behind great teaching, develop your confidence with expert support and continue your training across ballet, tap and modern theatre while working towards recognised ISTD qualifications.

The result? A career in dance that could take you into schools, studios, your own classes and beyond.

Where dancers become teachers! 🩰💫

At RDC, your own training is only part of the journey. It’s also about learning to see movement through a teacher’s eyes, understanding technique in greater depth and developing the skills to guide others with confidence.

Plenty of time is still spent doing what brought you here in the first place too... Getting into the studio and dancing!

Support that fits around you 🤍

Starting your dance teacher training is a big step, and having the right people beside you can make all the difference.

For Erin, RDC’s flexible approach has meant being able to combine studying at home, online and in person, with guidance from Jess and Terry throughout the start of her journey.

We’re so pleased to be part of it. ✨

Learning to lead the room 😁✨

Dance teacher training isn’t just about knowing the steps. It’s learning how to communicate them, demonstrate with confidence and understand how different dancers learn.

These are the skills that turn dance knowledge into great teaching, and they’re built through getting stuck in and experiencing it for yourself. 🤝

A good day in the studio looks a little like this. 💫

Notes out, dance shoes on, plenty of practice and probably a few laughs somewhere in between!
