Transforming the Teacher, Business Education and a New Way to Teach Dance with Olivia Mode-Cater
Dance education is often likened to a Chinese proverb: 'A minute of work seen on stage takes 10 years of work off stage.' And while talent plays a role, education stands as the primary pillar shaping a dancer's journey. In our exploration of dance education during our first season, we delved into academia and the art of learning. Now, we take a closer look at the business of education, focusing on the creation of teaching resources essential for dance educators in the form of Dance Ed Tips.
Enter Olivia Mode-Cater, the visionary behind DET, founded in 2017 to empower dancers and dance teachers across the nation with a rich array of teaching resources and learning materials. With a solid background as a seasoned dance educator and entrepreneur, Olivia is a sought-after presenter, sharing her expertise on both national and international platforms. Her journey as Director of Dance Education at Hofstra University established the institution's dance education program among the Top 30 in the United States, recognized for its high-quality teacher preparation training.
Continuing a brand new season and month of Dance Education, this episode explores Olivia's trailblazing journey while unveiling the secrets behind her innovative transformation in dance education. Ready to discover the educator within you? Join us as we foreground dance in the background!

Dance and the dramatic arts as one, through the eyes of a Dance Theatre maker
I was really interested in dance masterclass but I wanted to see someone from the dance field but not from the dance masterclass to speak about it, a little bit more objective opinions. I'm so glad you made this video! Even though it's almost 1 year old I'm happy I found it at least now 🙏❤️
Hey Filip, thank you so much for watching the video and appreciating my analysis of this wonderful service. I definitely recommend you getting this, depending on your financial situation of course. I've been using it for a year now and it just gets better and better, so do let me know if you eventually decide to go for it 😁
i want to join
A definite recommend Carolyn, let me know how you find it later hopefully 😁🙏
I know this is an older video but can you comment on whether Dance Masterclass is good for true adult beginners?
Hey Caroline, thanks for the comment and curiosity for this brilliant service! My answer to that is yes, because the classes are centered around the exact fundamentals which makes them timeless. Whether you are a professional or someone just beginning their dance journey, there is surely something there for you 😁
I purchased an annual subscription and all the classes are still locked and customer service is nonexistent. There isn’t even a phone number to call.
Sorry to hear about your difficulties @meowmix8751, maybe try sending them an email at contact@dance-masterclass.com? Hope this helps! 😁
