Student Teacher Education Program

Our Student Teacher Education Program (STEP) gives youth the opportunity to become leaders inside our dance home while learning time management, taking initiative, making healthy choices, communication skills, presentation and more! At Squamish Dance Centre, we believe that having an opportunity to develop leadership skills at an early age creates positive, confident and successful humans. Our STEP program will provide your child with skills they can use both inside and outside the studio to shine as a leader!  

All dancers applying for the program will be required to attend our STEP 'Back To Dance Training' in September, commit to their scheduled weekly student teacher class(es), stay focused and dedicated to their own classes and a willingness to receive feedback and improve their skills.

Student Teachers are expected to approach this role just like a job; learning how to be a reliable, confident and positive future employee or employer! We do not pay our Student Teachers, this is a volunteer position. We gift our STEP dancers a Student Teacher t-shirt, holiday party and a year end gift at recital.
