INTERNATIONAL TEACHERS TRAINING
Course Content The MamaDances Teachers Training course includes training in two programs: Mom and Baby Dance (2-12 months) and/or Parent and Child Dance (1-4 years).
Included in the two programs are: Teachers Manual, Class plans, Choreographies and Playlists Note*: The Parent Child curriculum is influenced by local culture. If you are coming from outside Canada, you will need to bring examples of your own local children’s songs.
For both programs, this training involves 36 hours of physical learning in studio, the opportunity to observe a class being taught, and practice teaching a group of volunteer participants. Six days for each program is short and each trainee will be expected to study the videos and guide, and prepare materials in the evenings to solidify the learning. Most class content is accompanied by videos.
Music: MamaDances uses found, pre-recorded music for its dances and exercises. You are given a playlist, but are required to purchase the music.
Supplies: different supplies are needed for the Mother and Baby and the Parent and Child Program depending on what is not provided by the location in which you will teach. You may need to purchase the supplies before you begin teaching your own classes. During the training, supplies will be provided.
Related areas of study: child/infant development, postnatal health, babywearing, marketing and communications will be discussed but are not the cornerstones of this training. Please be prepared to invest in furthering your knowledge in these areas of study. The theoretical foundations of this approach are being researched and will be addressed, further while this training is mostly based in real time action relation and practical experience.. We want you to leave feeling prepared to begin teaching.

Benefits
Benefits to The Teacher We support the desire of dance artists and like-minded professionals, to expand their career by including Mom and Baby and Parent and Child dance in their palette of teaching techniques, and to consider MamaDances as a parallel career to their other performing activities and employment. It is not possible to make a living as a MamaDances teacher alone. This is a supplement to other revenue streams.
Benefits for local businesses and community MamaDances provides supplementary revenue to local studios through hourly rental or additional programming, and can provide visibility to local businesses through promotional partnerships and affiliate marketing campaigns. MamaDances can be an addition to programming in community centres, cultural organization, dance schools, studios or other appropriate venues for physical exploration with similar values.
