Built by a Dance Director Who Needed a Better System

I created Dance Studio Syllabus because I needed it, too.

When I stepped into directing, I felt the same pressure many of you feel: multiple levels, late-night planning, and trying to make sure each class truly builds on the last.

And I kept hearing the same things:

“I don’t have time to plan.”
“I need age-appropriate progressions.”
“I just want to know what comes next.”

It wasn’t a lack of passion.
It was a lack of structure.

So I built a level-by-level curriculum with clear expectations, intentional progression, and ready-to-use lesson plans, so you can teach with confidence instead of scrambling each week.

Because strong dancers are built when teachers have clarity and the energy to teach well.

A Clear Training Path, From Preschool to Pre-Professional

Each genre follows a level-by-level progression with built-in lesson plans and optional video support, so you never have to guess what to teach next.
