Dance teachers teach dance in schools and colleges or at places specializing in social and ballroom dance instruction. Dance teachers and choreographers usually have more job security than performers. The increased popularity of dance in recent years has resulted in a greater demand for dance teachers. Primary duties and responsibilities of a dance teacher include: preparing session plans and establishing course goals; demonstrating method and procedure to pupils; observing and evaluating pupils’ work to determine student progress or making suggestions for improvement; conferring with student, parent, and counselor to resolve student problem; and accompanying students to dance recitals and theatres. Dance teachers may direct planning and supervision of student dance competitions. They may also teach students with disabilities.
