Training
•The Dance Team Coaching minor is designed for students pursuing teacher certification and for students preparing to work in a school setting.
•Coursework centers the knowledge and decisions needed to coach both dance teams and spirit teams rather than treating the credential as a performance-only dance minor.
Professional Development
•SFA names secondary schools and colleges as the settings for which the minor develops coaching preparation.
•The credential joins dance expertise with instruction, team leadership and the responsibilities of guiding school-based performers.
Degree Flexibility
•SFA publishes Dance Team Coaching as its own minor, distinct from the general Dance minor and from the university's bachelor-level dance programs, so students can add a coaching focus to a teaching or other primary degree.
