STUDENT TEACHING
Sign Up for Email Updates
Interested Dancers in Grades 7 & up enrolled in a MINIMUM of 3 classes (2 paid classes)
at least one being TAP or BALLET to be considered.  

It is our policy that Student Teachers will NOT be assigned to teach younger siblings or relatives
classes, however requests to teach other groups in the same time slots will be considered,
WHEN POSSIBLE.  

Once registration is complete, and we have a better scope of class sizes and age groups, Miss
Janine and Miss Kathryn will match available student teachers with classes where they are
needed.  We will contact you by phone or email in early September.

Each student teacher will be compensated with one free class and its corresponding costume,
and community service hours.

PLEASE NOTE: We receive FAR more applications than we have positions available.  
Placements and assignments are made based on MANY variables (dance experience, number of
classes taken, past attendance and cooperation.   Students that have previously been invited
to serve as student teachers are NOT automatically guaranteed future assignments.  
Please remember, that many applied last year that did not get the opportunity.  

Application forms should be scanned in and emailed, (mobile phone photos sent via email will be
accepted), or printed and mailed to us at WI Creative Arts, PO Box 338, West Islip, NY
11795 (no later than 8/25/2018.)

*** Regarding school sports *** We understand many applicants sign up for both in school, and intramural
sports. Most classes that require teachers meet at 4:30 and 5:30.  Please be realistic in projecting your
availability. No more than 3 Absences are allowed, and it is your responsibility to find a sub for your classes
when you can't be there. Please be honest in disclosing if another activity will interfere with your ability to teach
on a regular basis.
