Dance teaching in local government
This practical guide explains how dance teaching is organised within the local civil service. It sets out the various employment categories, in particular those of Local Arts Teaching Assistant (ATEA) and Arts Teaching Professor (PEA). The document also covers the conditions for practising the profession, which is regulated and requires a State Diploma in Dance Teaching. It explains the routes into these roles, whether through competitive examinations for civil servants or via contracts for contract staff, whilst outlining the issues relating to pay and career progression.
