Advancement Prospects
An experienced dance instructor at a dance school can advance to the position of head instructor. Some dance teachers choose to open their own dance schools or dance companies. Some instructors become choreographers. A high school dance teacher might advance to become the head of the art, theatre, or physical education department or, with more education, become principal. The normal pattern of advancement for a college dance teacher is from instructor to assistant professor, to associate professor, to full professor.
