There’s a belief floating around the dance world that experience alone is enough to teach.
“I’ve been dancing for years. I know my body. I don’t need a fitness certification.”
But if you’re teaching classes that raise heart rates, repeat movement week after week, and ask students to trust you with their bodies, a fitness certification is not optional.
In this episode, I break down why dance experience and exercise science are not the same thing—and why both matter. We talk about safety, cueing, injury prevention, legal protection, student trust, and what actually shifts when instructors step into true movement leadership.
This isn’t about limiting creativity.It’s about supporting it with knowledge, clarity, and sustainability.
If you teach dance fitness—or any class that conditions the body—this conversation matters.
