✨ WE’RE EXPANDING! ✨

In 2027, Becoming. In Motion is excited to introduce a second Cert IV program in partnership with ATOD.

🎓 Certificate IV in Dance Teaching & Management

Designed for aspiring dance teachers and studio owners who want to formalise their experience, deepen their teaching practice and build a career with purpose.

Led by @movewithfionaluca @shelley_skinner , highly experienced and current studio teachers and owners, this face-to-face program blends practical experience, industry knowledge and a truly holistic approach to teaching.

Because being an incredible dance teacher is about so much more than knowing how to dance.

It’s understanding the human in front of you — how they learn, achieve, grow and become.

A great teacher can have a profound impact on a young person’s confidence, resilience and life — far beyond the dance studio. Fiona and Shelley are passionate about nurturing teachers who understand this responsibility and embrace the incredible privilege of shaping the next generation.

💫 1.5 days per week | Face-to-face | 16+ | All levels welcome

If you have a passion for dance and a burning desire to inspire, influence and make a difference, this could be your next step.

2027 — Become the teacher you were meant to be. ✨ by @motion_dancecompany
