In this solo episode of the Brainy Ballerina Podcast, I’m sharing practical advice for professional dancers and aspiring teachers looking to connect with studio owners and build a sustainable teaching career in the dance industry.
Drawing from my own experiences as an experienced dance educator and former school director, I’m breaking down the realities of finding teaching work, from preparing your materials and making initial contact with a studio to understanding what studio owners actually value most in a teacher.
Key “Pointes” in this Episode:
Why professional dance experience does not automatically make someone a strong teacher
The importance of researching a studio before applying
Why flexibility can help newer teachers gain more opportunities
How your teaching priorities may evolve throughout different seasons of life
What to include in a professional teaching portfolio
How to identify and market your “unique selling points” as a dance educator
Why teaching should be approached as a true profession, not just a side hustle
