Australian Dance & Drama Co is a proud Dancestep partner. Dancestep is a Dance Student Teacher Education Program designed for students from age 10.
Our DanceStep leaders are role models and provide support and care to the younger members of our studio. DanceStep has two components:
1. Theory
Each DanceStep student will receive access to their own online learning portal and downloadable workbook for completion. Subjects include Anatomy, Safe Dance Principles, Self-Leadership,
Planning for Performances, Behaviour Management, Teaching Strategies, Learning Styles and Communication
2. Practical Assisting
Each DanceStep student will be allocated a class to assist and apply their new knowledge and skills. During this time skills such as patience, empathy, taking initiative and feedback and
communication strategies are further developed.
At the conclusion of each Level in DanceStep (there are 6 levels) Dancestep leaders will receive a Certificate,
which will be a great addition to any applications for Leadership positions at school or later, on a CV.
Dancestep trainees are the leaders of the future and we are excited to provide this unique opportunity to encourage and support our ADDCo students in this way. DanceStep leaders are provided with a Student Teacher T Shirt for wearing in practical assisting classes so that other members of our studio know to look to you for help.
