Hi, i’m miss andye j

“I created the TFT 5-step course for anyone needing or wanting to improve their skills as a dance teacher. While there are a million amazing programs and opportunities to better ourselves as dancers, there are not a lot of spaces (if any) that are dedicated to helping us become better dance TEACHERS.

I have been teaching for over 25 years and am not only passionate about my job but also very good at it! I am committed to providing an innovative training program that equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to excel in their teaching careers. I look forward to contributing to your dance teaching journey and am grateful to be a part of your growth.”

TFT course 5-steps

  • ARE YOU PREPARED TO TEACH YOUR STUDENTS? BEFORE YOU EVEN ENTER THE ROOM, PREPARE YOUR COMBO AND BE PREPARED WITH YOUR COMBO.

  • DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE LEVEL OF THE ROOM IS OR WHAT THE GENERAL ENERGY IS? READ YOUR ROOM BEFORE YOU START TEACHING AND/OR WARM-UP

  • HOW WILL YOU COMMUNICATE & BREAK DOWN THE COMBO SO YOUR STUDENTS UNDERSTAND YOU CLEARLY?

  • HOW WILL YOU KEEP THE MOMENTUM OF THE CLASS GOING? HOW WILL YOU MAINTAIN THE PACE OF THE ROOM?

  • WILL STUDENTS HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DIGEST THE COMBO AT THE END OF CLASS? DEDICATE THE END OF CLASS TO STUDENTS.

“It was such an amazing experience - definitely worth every ounce of money and time that you put into this because I am walking out of this much more confident and much more happy as a teacher.”
