Diana Turner-Forte offers her services in Southern Pines, North Carolina. Some of the work can be done distant.
Working with young teachers empowering them to feel secure in what they are teaching is a valuable service to the dance field. Often students transition into the teaching field without anatomical knowledge, studio management skills, full knowledge of the reasons for the layout of the class, as welll as a lack of knowledge of student safety and injury prevention. They often teach how they were taught, which is not bad, it's just not as thorough as it could be when it comes to transitioning into the role of dance instructor. During one-on-one sessions with Ms. Turner-Forte young teachers are guaranteed to be outstanding role models and wise instructors for the next generation of dancers. Additionally, Diana Turner--Forte works privately with aspiring young students who desire to polish their classical ballet technique in striving toward a professional dance career.
