What do students want from their dance lessons?
What do teachers need in order to give their students what they want?
How can teachers be supported in the development of their careers?
These were the questions posed when Balliamo was conceived. These three key issues continue to form the basis upon which new services and products are developed for the benefit of Balliamo Members.
The Balliamo formula for delivery of classes works. Students love the dancing. Students love the way the classes are delivered. They tell their friends - their friends come too. They learn in a supportive and friendly environment. They make new friends. They have fun. They keep on coming back, week after week, year after year.
The Balliamo Teacher support resources give the new teacher everything they need to deliver fantastic lessons in a formula which will appeal to students of all ages, shapes, sizes and abilities. Lesson plans, choreographies and other resources available to franchisees have taken several years to develop, test and refine. They will save countless hours of preparation and research. The curriculum you will be using will help you to prepare your students for their Balliamo examinations, giving them a sense of progression and achievement.
The Balliamo training seminars and workshops concentrate on transferable teaching skills which will improve the way you deliver classes. Every teacher will also be trained in how to deliver lessons using the Balliamo philosophy, enabling each student to get the most out of their lessons and keep on coming back.
Being part of Balliamo provides opportunities for networking with other teachers who share a common goal. Teachers within the Association do not compete with each other – they support and promote one another. There are opportunities to share good practice, help and advice. There are performance opportunities and teacher showcases.
Give yourself and your business the best start possible by joining an Association whose goal is to help each individual achieve their personal best. Why go it alone when you can be part of a great team?
