Fresh Ideas. Stronger Teaching. Ongoing Support.
The Dance Teacher Alliance is a professional community for dance educators who want better tools, stronger teaching, fresh inspiration, and access to world-class training that helps them keep growing in the classroom.
Support for the Teacher Behind the Students.
Dance teachers pour so much into their students. They inspire, guide, encourage, correct, create, motivate, and help shape confidence that can last a lifetime.
But great teaching does not happen on passion alone.
It takes continued learning. It takes fresh ideas. It takes practical tools. It takes support from people who understand the work and believe that dance education should continue to evolve.
The Dance Teacher Alliance was created to give dance educators a place to keep learning, stay inspired, and feel connected to a larger community of teachers who care deeply about quality dance education.
What Is the Dance Teacher Alliance?
The Dance Teacher Alliance is designed for dance educators who want to become stronger, more creative, more effective teachers.
Whether you teach preschool dancers, recreational students, competitive dancers, or advanced performers, DTA gives you access to resources, movement training, teaching support, and professional development that can help you teach with more confidence, more purpose, and more impact.
This is not just about collecting ideas. It is about becoming a better teacher.
Why Teachers Join the Dance Teacher Alliance.
Teachers join DTA because they want more than random ideas from social media. They want meaningful support that helps them improve what happens in their classroom.
They want inspiration they can use. They want movement material they can trust. They want expert guidance. They want practical teaching tools. And they want to stay connected to the bigger purpose behind what they do.
DTA helps teachers keep learning, keep improving, and keep showing up with energy, intention, and a stronger sense of direction.

Who the Dance Teacher Alliance Is For
The Dance Teacher Alliance is a fit for teachers at many different stages of the journey.
New Teachers
If you are building confidence and looking for guidance, DTA gives you support, ideas, and direction as you grow into the role.
Experienced Teachers
If you have years of experience but want fresh inspiration and new perspective, DTA helps you continue evolving instead of teaching on autopilot.
Studio Faculty Members
If you are part of a larger team, DTA gives you resources and professional development that can strengthen your contribution to the studio.
Studio Owners Who Still Teach
If you still spend time in the classroom, DTA can support your teaching too. But if you are a studio owner, your best place to begin is usually the Studio Owner Alliance, because DTA is already included in that membership.
Simple Pricing
The Dance Teacher Alliance is available for $99.00 per month.
If you are a Studio Owner Alliance member, you can also enroll faculty members in DTA for $20.00 per teacher.
If you are a studio owner, the Studio Owner Alliance is often the better place to begin because it includes DTA as part of your membership while also giving you business training, leadership support, and growth resources.
A Note for Studio Owners
The Dance Teacher Alliance is available as a stand-alone membership for dance teachers.
However, if you are a studio owner, the Studio Owner Alliance is usually the better place to begin because it includes access to DTA as part of the membership.
That means studio owners can receive business support, leadership guidance, and classroom resources together in one membership.
What Members Love About It
Katrina Hall
“As a dance educator, I have been searching for a resource that caters to my specific needs, and DTA has finally filled that void. My students range from 1.5 to adult, and I can attest that DTA provides everything necessary for effective lesson planning, including fresh insights from master teachers, live interviews and classes, and more! It has such an extensive library—and complimentary 1:1 mentor calling as well as a community of support from other dance educators! I joined DTA the second it was announced because I know Rhee Gold consistently delivers exceptional results, and this is no exception, offering top-notch quality and support! Do this for yourself!!!”
Donna Lynch
“The Dance Teacher Alliance not only provides teachers with relevant class content and ideas, but also a network of fellow teachers who share the same goals and classroom challenges. Since joining DTA, I’ve already connected with teachers I may not have otherwise met, and am enjoying being part of this community of educators who all share the same passion for dance.”
