IDTA Level 3 Diploma in Dance Teaching Assistant - Ballet

Comes with UCAS points

As taken from the IDTA website:

The objective of the Level 3 Diploma in Dance Teaching Assistant is for learners to develop knowledge and understanding of syllabus requirements, safe dance practice and dance teaching so that they may assist in dance classes, usually helping to teach groups of students for a specified period under the supervision of a qualified dance teacher. The qualification does not confirm status as a dance teacher. This is the first step into teaching pedagogy.
