Teacher Training Pathways
Find the Path that is Right for You
Over the years, Mariah-Jane has developed numerous inroads and pathways for teachers.
Why?
Because not only is ever teacher different, but each teacher is at a different place on their journey and have different needs at any one time.
Some reasons teachers look for training:
- They have to find something of interest and value to fulfill the required CPD hours.
- Personal Interest, Development and Growth
- Looking for Solutions to Specific Challenges; artistic and/or technique
- Overcoming a Personal Physical or Emotional Challenge that is affecting Joy in Teaching
- Needing Support for In Studio Dynamics
- Wishing to be Part of a Community of like minded teachers
- Wanting certifications/training that would increase studio teaching income and/or give opportunities for income outside of the studio

Personal Interest, Development and Growth
This is perhaps the most fun area to be in. Why?
Because you simply need to choose based on what resonates with you.
A suggestion is to start with diving in and developing your ability to create effective imagery. That skill keeps you inspired and having fun during class preparation as well as when you are in class sharing an image or co-creating with your students.
A suggestion is to start with the Creating Effective Imagery.
And if you wish to discover how to use imagery beyond technique and artistry help, then you will want to check out the fall and winter mini-courses.
In those courses you will discover ways to teach with the support of imagery/metaphors various elements to do with performance, confidence, class contribution and belonging.
Specific Challenges: Technique
If you wish to dive into technique specific work, then there are two courses designed just for that!
Over the decades, I have learned that most teachers of ballet focus a great deal on posture and pelvic alignment. I used to do so also. However, the more I learned the more I went to the top or bottom of the body and have had much faster success that keeps the body free from tension.
If you do really want to focus on posture or turn-out, you will find that in the Creating Effective Imagery course.
If you are very invested in learning more about how to train feet, in particular pre-pointe training, then the To the Pointe: Beyond Exercises course is for you!
Yes, there are many other pre-pointe courses out there that are well known, however, I do guarantee that why you find in this course you will simply NOT find else where. Have a look at all the many areas that make this course so comprehensive and the ideal tool to use for a year long pre-pointe course.
Overcoming a Personal Physical or Emotional Challenge
Sometimes the main goal is simply to feel better when teaching. Whether that is releasing an old injury, finally dealing with Plantar Fasciitis or releasing old limiting beliefs there IS a solution via The Radiant Dance Teacher.
Because nothing dims your Radiance more than Pain!
Physical Pain Options
If it is poor function causing pain, you may wish to check out the upper body and foot workshops. Many issues are solved from the top down or the bottom up. If you are unsure you can reach out to ask a question.
Emotional Pain Options
If you can feel the stress and emotional baggage weighing you down, there are body-based solutions, perfect for someone in touch with the body.
You can schedule a private session or join the monthly reset lab where we will work together.
Spark Lab is another option where you will little tidbits of learning and performance readiness for your students, which also translates to feeling balanced and focused for daily teaching.
In Studio Teaching Strategies
Classroom management and understanding dynamics between students can be one of the biggest on going challenges.
If you are a new teacher, investing in this topic will benefit each and every hour you teach. And if you have been teaching for a while, you are well aware that the students of today are different than 10-15-20 years ago! And so are the parents!
