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.
