Dance teachers teach dance in dance schools, artistic dance schools, jazz dance schools, fitness centers or in courses. The job largely involves teaching and practicing individual steps and moves and connecting them together in dance.
Ballroom dancing teachers often specialize in dances such as Latin American dances, folk dances, or dances that are in vogue at any given time. Artistic dance teachers teach classical art dance and modern artistic dance, but jazz dance teachers base their teaching on artistic dance mixed with other dance genres where the emphasis is on improvisation.
