Here are reasons why teachers choose to teach at our school over other studios:

- A constant flow of new students to keep schedules as full as possible.
    Over the course of the year, students can move or quit. This can leave a teacher with gaps or holes in their schedule. Most students register and start lessons in September. Most dance studios only advertise in late August and September for new students. At our school, we spend a lot of money on advertising and marketing year round to keep our teacher's schedules as full as possible. Each year we advertise in newspapers, yellow pages, direct mail, community publications and other media to constantly attract new students. We are continually registering new students for our private lessons even during typically slower registration months like May or June.

- Extras are taken care of - your only responsibility is to teach.
    We have friendly and professional front desk administrators to handle all of the "details" of teaching. From scheduling to collecting fees or arranging for private lessons and recitals, these details are handled by our administrators, not the teacher. This means the teacher is free to focus on teaching and not get bogged down by administration.

- Your time is respected and you are paid whether or not students show up.
    If a student in you class does not pay for their lessons or has an uncollectible debt, the teacher is still paid. Our priority for our teachers is to make sure that your time is not abused and your teaching day can be as productive as possible.

- Small Class Size
    We limit class sizes to make classes easier to control and monitor for teachers and to give more personalized attention to students. Our classes for ages 3-5 are limited to a maximum of 8 students per teacher per class (15 students with 2-3 assistants). Our classes for ages 6 and up are limited to a maximum of 15 students per class (with assistants).

- Floating covered hardwood dance floors in all studios
    We use professional floating covered hardwood dance floors in all of our studios. This dance floor helps prevent injuries and fatigue. A good quality floor is a consideration if you are going to be teaching for a few hours each day. A supportive quality floor allows you to protect your most important assets - your body and your ability to teach.
