For 30 years, The Linda Jamieson School of Dance has taught dance to students in the Ottawa, Ontario area. With a commitment to providing high-quality training to young dancers, The Linda Jamieson School of Dance acquired teaching certification from the Royal Academy of Dance. The Royal Academy of Dance provides teacher training to professionals internationally.
Dance teachers seeking instruction from the Royal Academy of Dance choose between four different programs or schemes. Those looking to grow professionally may select the continuing professional development scheme, which provides courses to help teachers strengthen their skills. The higher education scheme provides support to dance teachers all over the world.
Instructors may also choose to grow their abilities as choreologists through Benesh International, a program also offered through the Royal Academy of Dance. This organization aims to preserve choreographic copyright. The instruction involves a system composed in 1956 designed to record movement by humans.
