The bbodance Level 6 Diploma in Dance Teaching develops the pedagogic knowledge and skills accumulated during the theoretical and practical components of bbodance Levels 4 and 5, or alternative recognised dance teaching qualifications, enabling students to apply this knowledge and skills to their own professional teaching practice.

Module 6.1 Dance Science for Teachers
Module 6.2 Physical, Social, and Emotional Development in Dance Training
Module 6.3 Wider Professional Dance Practice
Module 6.4 Teaching Practice in Action
