Why become a bbodance Registered Teacher?
RTs are connected to an organisation that is professionally recognised by national Regulatory Bodies (Ofqual and Qualification Wales). Our eligibility requirements centre around student safety, best practice and quality training, so joining as an RT means joining a community committed to excellence in dance education.
Holding RT status ensures teachers are up to date with current industry practices and can access training to continue developing.
A key reason for becoming an RT is to enter students for dance examinations and assessments. bbodance Exams are possible for all students – whether they attend classes once a week, compete at festivals, or have returned to dance as an adult, there is opportunity to formally recognise everyone’s achievements.
​
We foster lifelong connections with our teaching members and are proud that each member shares our ethos of promoting the enjoyment of dance in its many forms.
