JTP stands for Junior Teaching Programme.

Our JTP runs throughout the academic year. Each JTP student assists one class weekly, term time and attends group mentorship afternoons once a term.
Why join?
Our JTPs learn great leadership skills that can be used throughout life. They grow in confidence anf become pillars of the studio that the younger students can look up to. In practical terms, the JTPs learn how to run warm ups appropriate for the level of class they assits, create strong bonds with the younger students, understand various teaching methods that can be applied appropriately. They also learn about safeguarding, dance styles, music and more.

“You’re doing a great job keeping them motivated and learning and entertained, Im very impressed! Its a wonderful opportunity for young people to try on the role of a teacher/ assistant, in a more public role and in front of other people and sometimes even parents (as in Watching weeks or the Showcase)!”
