Training
•Bullet: The Dance Team Coaching minor is designed for students pursuing teacher certification and for students preparing to work in a school setting.
•Bullet: 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
•Bullet: SFA names secondary schools and colleges as the settings for which the minor develops coaching preparation.
•Bullet: The credential joins dance expertise with instruction, team leadership and the responsibilities of guiding school-based performers.
Degree Flexibility
•Bullet: 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.
