Teacher Training Program

New Insights To Create Dance Classes You Love

Ali&Kris have shared tools to help me assess each class and be flexible in my delivery to meet the needs of each group. In addition, the individual coaching with Ali helped me create classes that provide fun challenges without overwhelming students. This program is worth its weight in gold for a new teacher like me!Peter Leach

After years of sharing our knowledge with other dance teachers through seminars and coaching, we’ve finally created an online training program. This program gives you a more extensive dance teacher’s education than we’ve ever been able to offer before – that you can take advantage of from the comfort of your own home or studio – with more content, more support, more implementation time, at a very affordable price.

The Program at a Glance

A Full Range of Lessons and Coaching

  • 10 lessons, covering a broad range of topics.
  • Access to interviews, Q&A videos and more.
  • 60-min pedagogy group session with Ali every month.
  • 30-min one-on-one coaching with Ali every 2 months.
  • Full access to our “Online Pass” to learn Lindy Hop and to observe many of our teaching concepts in action.

You Can Start Training Right Away

  • You’ll have access to the full program right away
  • Lessons are available in text and audio: read or listen, as you prefer.
  • Many lessons also have accompanying videos and graphics.
  • Each lesson also includes exercises for you to work on.

A Program For Any Dance Teacher

The lessons will give you great value, no matter what dance style you teach, and no matter who your students are. Our wealth of knowledge is informed by our personal experiences teaching Black American social dances, primarily Lindy Hop, to adults.

The Main Content is in English

The lessons are in English. Most content is also translated into German. In your live sessions, we can also accommodate German, French and Swedish.

From the moment you sign up, you have committed to 30 day intervals that automatically renew. So for example, if your subscription starts on January 4th, your next payment date will be February 3rd.

You can control your subscription, including pausing it anytime, by going to your Account Page, under the “Subscription” heading.

You will continue to have access to the online content until the end of the remaining 30-day period. After this period ends, you will no longer have access, and you will no longer be charged for the subscription; you can always come back to your account and reactivate your subscription to regain access.

The benefit of pausing your subscription is that you do not have to enter your payment details again when you restart, which makes the process much easier for you.

There are no charges for pausing subscriptions.

Please note that this option is limited if you use PayPal: you can only reactivate your subscription once the remaining 30-day period is over. If, on the other hand, you use Stripe, there shouldn’t be an issue.

You can control your subscription, including canceling it, by going to your Account Page, under the “Subscription” heading.

If you cancel your subscription, you will have to re-enter your payment details in case you choose to re-subscribe. There are no charges for canceling subscriptions.

If a payment is not completed, you will automatically lose access to your subscription and be moved to the Free Pass Subscription. Payments are made on the first day of each new 30-day period.

However, since we’re using a system that automatically takes care of this for you, hopefully this won’t be an issue. If you do notice a problem, please contact us right away.
