Teaching Assistants

Here at Eurhythmics, we believe that having an assistant in each class is very vital to a young dancers training. All of our assistants are senior dancers and have trained in various areas of dance here at Eurhythmics.  Each assistant attends various workshops throughout the year such as Groovestreet, Street Groove, Triple Threat and The School of the Alberta Ballet summer programs in Calgary.
Not only are our assistants mentors to many dancers, their duties and responsibilities are to ensure the classes start on time and the dancers are warmed up and ready to go, aid the instructor in each lesson, demonstrate movements and choreography and being available for students that need extra assistance in their training such as tutoring both inside and outside the classroom.
We are pleased to announce our assistants for our 2012-2012 dance term.
