Interested in Taking the Next Step?
Some dancers have already expressed their interest in the program, but everyone who is considering taking the course should
contact Vicky Zeltins, Education and Training Director, at education@dancescottish.ca to confirm their interest and receive further
information.
If you haven’t previously indicated your interest but are curious about becoming a teacher, or if you simply have questions about what
is involved, please get in touch with Vicky.
Teacher training is demanding, but it is also great fun and incredibly rewarding. It is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of
Scottish country dancing, develop your teaching skills, and share your enthusiasm for this wonderful dance tradition with others.
Why not consider taking the next step? We would love to have you join us!
