Your lessons must be to a Professional level that demonstrate a consistent structure to the moves & the dance. The moves you teach need to follow a regular format so they are able to blend effortlessly into each other. You will need to know how to teach Turning / Returning and Spinning correctly (click here to see example) and be able to teach a move to time (a count). You will be taught so you understand both the lady's and the mans part so you can teach both respectively when asked by students. You also need to be aware of safety, stage presence and controlling large numbers of people in an organized manner. Instructor courses are run throughout the UK (Click Here ), if you interested in our next course in the North West or for more information call Johnny 0774 034 8973
If you intend to teach Modern Jive then we strongly advice that you complete a recognized Instructor course. This will give you a sound understanding of what works and what doesn't (the biggest weakness in self taught instructors). We will also teach you the footwork, which is by far the highest level of the dance. The cost of the course is £250 (which is a good investment as a professional instructor teaching to these standards can easily cover the cost in a very short timescale).
Note: there is an examination fee, and a small annual UKA and Federation membership fee.
