Myles and Tessa emphasize the need for a serious, professional approach to teaching dance.  The stakes of teaching dance are at least as high as being a physical trainer or coach because the student’s ego and emotional well-being are even more at risk in dance than in other non-dance physical training.  Therefore they advocate and teach a caring and professional approach that includes correctly given feedback, lesson plans, syllabus, and continuing education. To support that vision, Myles and Tessa have created extensive material to aid the WCS teacher, including an extensive syllabus, an online discussion forum, and an invaluable bank of planning and assessment materials.  All of these tools are available to empower the aspiring dance teacher to grow the dance community by recruiting and retaining new dancers.
