Customer Service answers:
Typically to teach dance you don’t HAVE to do anything really special. A lot of people open their own studios without having gone to college to major in dance or anything like that. What counts is experience, quite often.
One place that you can look into is Dance Masters of America.
Though, it isn’t required that you get any special certification, it certainly looks better for business and you can really learn a lot from it.
I know Dance Masters of America supports many different genres (I’m currently studying jazz and modern, and planning on getting tested in november). What you do is you order their teachers manuals to study by and then you go and get tested at either a convention in your area or sometimes someone on the Chapter board will host testing at their own studio.
Go to the Dance Masters website and figure out what chapter you’re in (it’s according to your area) and grab an email address from someone who is on the board for that chapter and ask them for some advice.
Sharon asks…
I am going back to work next month and?
I am a little bit nervous, I had a baby in February, and I am a ballroom dance teacher my grandma will watch the baby, but I don’t know, She is very attached to me and my husband, so I do not know how she will act, mothers how is it being a working mother? please tell me. thank you.
Customer Service answers:
When I went back to work my daughter was with my mother but I still worried about her, its something I’m sure all mothers experience. Just know that you can at least reassure yourself the baby will be safe since she is with a family member and not at daycare. Don’t worry about the baby being attached if she has spent time with your grandma before she will be fine. But its going to be hard being away from your baby, but you will adjust.

Customer Service answers:
It’s called : Take The Lead
with Antonio Banderas in it. It came out in like… 2005, I think. 
Awesome movie.
