Apprentice Program

At Ballroom Dance Chicago, we know from experience that exceptional dance instructors aren't created overnight. Mastery in dance requires a profound grasp of both leading and following techniques, the skill to articulate these nuances, and extensive hands-on experience with students of varying abilities and backgrounds. That’s precisely why we introduced our pioneering apprenticeship program designed to cultivate the dance educators of tomorrow.

Based on the model set by similar institutions like a barber college, apprentice instructors receive training under the watchful eye of a master instructor, focusing their learning on assisting and teaching group classes. For those intrigued by a passion for teaching dance, the apprenticeship program provides an extensive training curriculum. Our apprentices learn to effectively communicate their love and knowledge of dance to diverse audiences.

Discover how we are transforming dance education and opening doors to the joy of dance for more people. Reach out to us if you’re interested in joining the program.
