FOUNDED BY LIZA KYRIAKIDOU

Transforming Dance Teaching into Education

Supporting dance teachers and studio owners/leaders through coaching, mentoring and professional development, grounded in pedagogy, reflective practice and educational research.

What Is Teachers of Dance?

Teachers of Dance provides coaching, mentoring and professional development for dance teachers and studio leaders who want to teach and lead with greater clarity, confidence and purpose.

​

Drawing on pedagogy, educational research, reflective practice, coaching, and real studio experience, Teachers of Dance encourages educators to look beyond the delivery of steps and create thoughtful, student-centred learning environments in which both teachers and students can grow.

"Liza’s coaching helped me build my identity as a teacher. She didn’t simply help me become a better ballet teacher; she helped me rediscover the joy and confidence of teaching."

— Fotini, Ballet Teacher, Greece

Dance Teachers

Many dance teachers were trained as dancers, but not fully prepared for the wider demands of teaching - lesson planning, student motivation, different learning needs, communication, and professional decision-making. Teachers of Dance offers the support you need to grow professionally.

Studio leaders meet

Studio Owners & Leaders

Leading a dance school is about far more than running a business. You are balancing people, expectations, operations, communication, standards, and long-term decisions. There is rarely enough space for your own reflection, strategic thinking, or development. Teachers of Dance offers a professional space for that growth.
