Instructor Course | Diamond Dance

How do I become a pole dancing instructor?

Step 1:

Do a course!

Step 2:

Ask a studio for a traineeship or to
observe an experienced instructor.

Easy!

Before you embark on your becoming an instructor adventure; here are some things to consider:

Are you ready?

The Diamond Dance Instructor Training course is a 2 day live event offered in person and via zoom. At the end of this course you will feel empowered (and probably overwhelmed) with the knowledge to confidently teach beginner pole dancers. You will feel yourself grow into a new position of leadership and as an everlasting student all over again (at a higher, more conscious level of course) and fall deeper in love with the art of pole dancing.

This course has been created and delivered by Jacinta Diamonds; one of the world’s most experienced pole dancing instructors. She has a background in gymnastics which delved into; coaching, judging and sports management for Women’s Artistic Gymnastics in WA.

She has competed in pole dancing nationally and internationally and has been teaching for over 10 years.

In this course you will learn;

After this 2 day course, you may be invited to complete an 8 week observation training at Diamond Dance. Alternatively, you might like to ask another studio or instructor to help you further your learning.

Can I do this course if I don't want to become an instructor right now?

YES! This course is a great way to become a better student too! Especially if you train for competitions and want to safely train by yourself. Diamond Dance also has a team for Hen’s Parties where you can pick and choose when you would like to teach.

Am I guaranteed a job at the end of this course?

No. However Diamond Dance usually takes on potential new instructors for traineeships and our hen’s party team which can lead to more teaching opportunities.

I already have relevant prior learning do I have to do the full course?

Send through your certificates and course information and we’ll let you know.

Do I need to be a certain level of pole dancing to become an instructor?

No, but we recommend achieving an advance level of pole dancing first because you need to be super strong to demonstrate tricks several times in slow motion while talking!

Do I need to start competing to become an instructor?

Hard no! Not all super star competition winners are good teachers – in fact, many of the best teachers are the ones you don’t see up on the competition stage.

Do I have to do a traineeship too?

Depends on the requirements of the studio(s) you work for. For Diamond Dance yes you must complete a traineeship because this is how we teach you our specific curriculum and further your knowledge by watching different people learn, make mistakes and teach.

Do I have to pay for the Diamond Dance traineeship?

At the moment no because we only take on trainees that we intend to hire as an instructor. However in the future we may look to expand the program to all participants.

Does this course accrue CEC's?

No. We don’t think pole dance should fall under the Fitness / Personal Training realm. Where there are some cross-overs in relevant information we haven’t registered the course with Fitness Australia because we don’t think the certificate 3 or 4 in fitness is necessary for pole dance instructors.
