“I cannot recommend Jo enough if you’re looking at doing your dance teaching qualification with the IDTA. It doesn’t matter what age you are or how far away you live, Jo is so accommodating and encouraging. Being 40 and living on a remote Scottish Island, I never thought I’d get the chance to finish what I originally started 24 years ago. Jo is super flexible with my learning approach and understands everyone’s individual challenges. She’s a credit to the industry and the IDTA!”
Donna – Qualified 2024
“The course was designed perfectly. Working through each of the grades of Theatre Craft, highlighting teaching techniques and common faults dancers would make before learning how to avoid and correct them. Learning the history of the styles was very beneficial and I went into the Level 4 teaching exam with more knowledge than I ever needed! I was very well equipped. The course ran so smoothly over the year and even during the spells of lockdown, Jo made sure our learning continued via zoom. Adding the IDTA syllabi to our school has had such a positive outcome as my students learning and my teaching have increased in confidence massively. Huge thank you!”
Bethany – Qualified 2021
“I studied level 4 CMJ with Jo and successfully passed the exam in September 2023. By allowing us to study on Zoom it meant I could fit the course around my other commitments. I left feeling more confident in my knowledge and with a range of new teaching methods. Since passing my CMJ, Jo has continued to support me and I am excited to be studying my ballet with her. Becoming and IDTA teacher has massively helped me and my dance school. I would highly recommend Jo to any new teachers or existing teachers looking to expand there skill set.”
