What we are looking for:

Our demos are 30 minutes (20 min mock class & 10min Q&A) each with the management team as your students, who will be evaluating you on:

• Interaction with students

In the 20-minutes, you will do a general warm-up, short teaching sequence, and possibly a short cool-down. The purpose is for us to get a sense of how you are in a normal class. Think of this as a truncated version of a full 60-minute class. After the 20 minute demo, the management team will ask you questions about your class in a 10 minute Q&A.

Demos will be scored on a scale of 1-5 for the following criteria:

1. Foundations/History - Instructor possesses knowledge of the dance form their teaching. Is able to communicate the history in a clear manner and provide background to the style they’re teaching.

2. Communication/ Verbal & Non-Verbal Cues - Instructor is clear and prompt in their cuing. Is able to effectively lead the class with a clear movement for non-verbal cuing. Instructor has great vocal projection
