8 Step System to Build Curriculum

Sample Syllabus

You will receive syllabi for ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, jazz, and hip hop. Once you know our process for creating them, you will easily be able to edit them for your teaching scenario.

Since 1993

You want to feel confident. You want to have a plan for your classes. You want the ability to adjust for your students.

Our workshop is designed to leverage your unique dance experience and empower you to  create an evergreen source of curriculum for all your classes.

Why not just take the lesson plans? Learning someone else specific lesson plans can work in some circumstances, but often it takes time to learn someone else lesson plans. You might be unsure if your are doing the lesson correctly. And the ultimate issue is it may not let you react to the students who are in front of you. You will develop curriculum for your classes that your students and parents can trust, that you are being accountable to, AND that allow you to be the professional educator you are.

Lights On Dance is an established teacher training program with an established an 8-Step process benefitting the studio owner, dance teacher and student. We want to you to be in control of your classes and save time lesson planning by having all your work done upfront.  Oh, and it's fun.
