Danceteam captains' programme
The New Danceteam captains' programme
Our captains are the backbone of Danceteam. Each team is lead by at least one captain and one instructor. And because we expect a lot from our captains we also want to make sure that our captains have the best of everything. The new captains' programme consists of three pillars:
Pillar 1 - Dance
Our captains have special "captains only" regular classes, workshops and prep classes to make sure they are on the fast track to becoming junior instructors and full instructors.
Pillar 2 - Mentoring
Each captain has a mentor who helps a captain develop as a team player, dancer and leader.
Pillar 3 - Leadership
All our captains are expected to be or grow into leaders of our dance community. Our leadership programme provides the captains with the tools and a forum to develop their skills as leaders.
