Student Teacher Assistants & Role models

Red Door Dance provides an in-house student training leadership program for students who are interested in becoming dance teachers, sharing their love of dance with younger kids, or want to be more involved in the studio and their dance education. Students will work side by side with a Red Door Dance Instructor in weekly classes as Student Teacher Assistants. Students will be selected after reviewing their application, work ethic, and prior history at the studio.

Why join the STAR Program?

Gain confidence by learning to be in front of a group of kids and learning to speak loudly with conviction in front of a group
Gain “job” experience- must sign in on time each day the dancer is assigned to assist in a class. We treat this like a job for the students, which we believe teaches a GREAT deal of skills and responsibility
More involvement in the studio- these dancers gain a sense of ownership in that they are a part of helping classes run smoothly and get to help out with the younger kids’ performances.
Great addition to their technique training- while you wouldn’t initially think assisting in a 5 year old’s tap and ballet class could improve a dancer’s technique, the dancers get a whole new perspective on dance class. Assistants are repeatedly going through the motions of dance basics which inevitably helps them improve. Teaching someone else to do something is also one of the best ways to reinforce it for yourself.

While we believe that the STAR Program is a program that is invaluable to the dancer through all they will learn from it, in spirit with treating this like a job we do give credits to your account based on how many hours your dancer assists in.

Testimonials

My daughter loves red door. She has two teachers and they are both amazing. She loves tap/ballet and then her tumble class. They have very cute events throughout the year and it’s super simple and engaging for the kids. Glad we attend classes here - we have made many new friends/mom friends and it’s a great group!

We absolutely love Red Door. My daughters have learned so much. The teachers build relationships with the kids, are knowledgeable, and caring. One of my daughters is deaf and wears a cochlear. They make sure she knows what is going on, without treating her like she is different. I have watched them with students who have various needs, and they make sure to give them the help they need and make sure they are included. They are more than a dance studio, they are a family.
