New CDTT Street Dance Teacher Qualification to be unveiled at Move It 2010

Street Dance has never been easy to teach. Constantly evolving and kept out of the studios, many self-taught street dance teachers are excellent dancers but are unprepared for the challenges of working with beginner level students in a gym or dance studio environment.
Now, Creation Dance, a long term provider of community street dance classes, has devised a comprehensive teacher training program for competent dancers aimed at raising the standards of tuition in the community and creating opportunities for aspiring dance teachers to teach street dance and hip hop to people of all ages and abilities in their local area.

The CDTT Certification Program is a low cost course with flexible study options that gives students the tools to become a responsible and confident teacher. The training provides students with a strong understanding of anatomy, physiology and dance safety. Upon completion of the program, aspiring teachers are able to intelligently sequence fun and safe classes, spanning a variety of styles and levels.

“Urban Groovz, our pioneer street dance syllabus and teaching method shows teachers how to break down Hip Hop movements so beginners are encouraged to get dancing.” says course Director, Ainhoa Rey. “Using motor fitness training and solid teaching techniques, teachers can ensure that their students learn coordination and choreography more quickly, which keeps them coming back to class as there’s a huge sense of satisfaction felt when they achieve their goals. A major part of our training aims create an environment in which students feel motivated and encouraged to go beyond their limitations. Teachers can apply the principles to their unique street dance style so it’s suitable for a range of dancers.”

At this year’s largest dance exhibition in the UK, Move It 2010, Creation Dance will be available to talk to people who are interested in becoming a dance teacher and sharing their passion for dance with their community.
Those wanting to set up their own dance classes or just find out about the CDTT qualification, can visit Creation on Stand 123, where Ainhoa Rey, the Head of Teaching Training and Elle Kealy, the Founding Director and Head of Franchise Services, will be available to provide information and guidance.
