ABOUT OUR
Teacher Assistant Program
The Majesty in Motion Teacher Assistant Program is a pre-professional training initiative designed to develop the next generation of dance instructors. The program equips dancers with the technical, leadership, and instructional skills needed to transition into teaching roles, while immersing them in a high-level training environment.
Participants engage in extensive daily dance training alongside structured mentorship, gaining hands-on experience assisting in classes and refining their ability to lead and communicate effectively with students. In exchange, dancers receive access to all weekly classes, the studio space, social events, and team performance opportunities.
By combining practical teaching experience with intensive artistic development, the program creates a direct pathway for dancers to evolve into confident, well-rounded instructors and performers.
