Instructor courses differ in that you'll be learning how to teach each of the Units, and the explaination of each teaching point, method, and technique. You'll learn the theory behind each point and the issues surrounding it, including benefits, properties and pitfalls. The Modules and Units mirror the Social Student courses in their content, and you have to have a Distinction pass in the equivalent Unit before you enter the corresponding Instructor Unit. The instructor Units will furnish you with all the understanding behind the techniques so you'll never be at a loss when a students asks you a question. They will equip you with the tools to teach effectively and confidently so you'll gain the attention and respect of your students, and take them as far as they are able to go. Your teaching will become consistent and confident, and you'll be able to innovate in your turn-pattern material safe in the knowledge that you won't end up contradicting yourself at a later stage. Your teaching will reach a new level. Salsa Aacdemy offers special support and resources for qualified insturctors, so you will gain the backing of an organisation to help further your personal development and career.
If you run salsa clubs, and you need instructors trained, we offer the ideal system. Every detail of every movement is examined in our courses. Your instructors wil learn the justification of every single teaching point, and gain a depth of understanding that will make them confident and fluid instructors. Moving instructors between levels and clubs when cover is required becomes easy as you'll not have to custom-fit instructors because their knowledge or presentation is unknown. You'll build a unparalleded consistency that will give you clubs and class complete credability and respect. Through our system we'll show you instructors exactly how to make average turn-patterns in crowd pleasing turn-pattern whilst also delivering solid content and technique. They will learn how make a point, how to demonstrate a point with clarity, how to answer questions and never be afraid of student input, how to cast their teaching, how to spot students that aren't getting their patterns, and also how to innovate and make each class informative, consistent and fun.
Running your own Academy with the back up and support of Salsa Academy and its resources can be part of your teaching plans. We'll completely underwrite your efforts in your own Salsa Academy, and you'll benefit from Instructor Manual, a set detailed teaching syllabus, student syllabus, and resources on the website, as well as access to our national database.
If you run social clubs, as the majority of salsa clubs are, you will also be able to attain Salsa Academy Accredditaion under certain conditions, which will then give you the benefits of support and marketting to a national database. Students who are prepared to travel outside the local area will be able to enjoy your instructors and their teaching personality, whilst remaining secure in the knowledge that that won't get conflicting or incorrect instruction.
