Why train teachers?

Dance works best when teachers feel confident

When teachers feel unsure, dance often becomes repetitive, it’s avoided or it’s treated as a one-off project.

But when teachers have the right structure, dance becomes purposeful, creative, inclusive and fun both to deliver and for the pupils too.

Training teachers creates lasting impact. It means dance doesn’t disappear when an external specialist leaves. In fact, it becomes part of everyday practice.

The impact of confident delivery

Training teachers to deliver dance classes:

builds progression across year groups
supports reluctant movers and confident movers alike
encourages creativity and teamwork
reduces reliance on external providers
embeds dance within the curriculum

Most importantly, it gives teachers the confidence to deliver fun, practical and creative lessons.

“Our school team thoroughly enjoyed our CPD session with Jo. Jo brought a wealth of knowledge and experience in Dance to provide us with a clear understanding of how to deliver differentiated movement to our pupils. We loved learning about the JTE method and it has made us excited to start implementing her weekly steps into our Dance PE lessons.”
