Teaching Dance Beyond The Steps

In a career spanning over two decades and counting - from humble beginnings teaching dance in her parents' garage while still at school, to becoming a distinguished studio owner, dance teacher coach and industry leader - Jen Dalton knows exactly what it takes to stay current and achieve mastery in the evolving world of dance.

With a philosophy centred on empowering and educating dance teachers to be the most effective leaders they can be, Jen's highly anticipated book Teaching Dance Beyond the Steps is an essential guide for every dance teacher, regardless of their current position, who wants to maximise their impact and secure a future in the industry.

Filled with compelling personal stories, case studies, helpful links, downloads and resources; Jen doesn't hold anything back as she guides you through every step of the Dance Teacher Evolution Process and the 5 Principles of Dance Teacher Mastery to show you how you, too, can position yourself as an industry leader and influencer.

The art of teaching dance is as important as the art of learning dance. This unique training platform will give you everything you need in order to master teaching dance beyond the steps.

Having successfully owned and operated multiple dance studios for over 25 years - with over 1,000 students and managing teams of over 30 teachers and staff members at one time - Jen knows the importance of strategy, planning and being committed to continual learning. A well as teaching at and running her dance studios; Jen studied to be a police officer. She went on to work in the Child Protection and Sex Crimes Squad for 13 years. Jen studied Psychology and Communications at CSU, Health and Fitness, and Dance Teaching and Management. It was only natural that the next step was to collate all the information she learned from her studies and work experience to turn it into a dance industry manual, making it easy, quick and readily available for dancers and teachers around the world. It is Jen's intention to create a worldwide community of like-minded dance teachers and educators who - together - will support, encourage and lead with the intention to fully equip our next generation of students for excellence.
