1. What kind of criteria do the applicants need to have to participate?
All that is required of the applicants is the desire to participate in the course. No prior dance training is required. We will offer the training from the ground up. Of course, we will receive applicants with differing levels of ability, but that will not be a problem for this course.
Everyone will be getting valuable information to make them trained and confident dance
instructors.
2. $399 seems kind of expensive. How long are the days and what kind of
teaching techniques will you be focusing on mostly?
The training works out to be approximately $13/hour or $66/day. The training is from
10 AM to 3 PM Monday through Saturday for 1 week.
We will be focusing on every aspect of the profession, from: Dance training, Latin movement technique, learning different roles (lead and follow), learning how to teach, musical training, history of salsa training, business training, professional etiquette, lesson
planning...etc.
3. What kind of a response have you received about your course?
We have been getting a great response from people locally and internationally. Each year we have more and more student teachers coming from areas where salsa is gaining new popularity (i.e. Egypt, Turkey, Malaysia and Japan.)
Many who cannot make the time for this session are waiting for the next available training course.
5. It's great to see that something like this is being "finally" offered. I have seen too many people that believe they are instructors just because they have taken a few classes and dance socially on occasions.
From what I have read regarding your background, you seem to understand what it takes to be a successful
instructor and how much work and dedication is necessary in order to earn the right to truly call yourself an
"Instructor."
I couldn't agree with you more in that teaching is something that requires training and experience to be truly professional. There is a responsibility in teaching eager-paying students who want to be taught correctly and with professional etiquette.
I love my profession and the requests of many eager to-be-teachers, to offer this course, has inspired me to share the skills and knowledge I attained through years of formal training and 12 years of teaching experience.
I have trained many teachers internationally for the past 7 years and am excited to finally offer this course at home in Los Angeles, California.
Below are the closest Hotels to Josie Neglia Dance Academy. They are ranging from 2 to 4 miles away. Please call each for rates and reservations. There are busses and cabs or possibly other students in the course that can offer rides to and from the studio. As it gets closer to the course, we will see if others will be residing in one of the local hotels.
Please let me know which hotel or motel you choose.
Thanks,
Josie

Before I took your workshop I felt
some confusion and discomfort in learning the basic salsa
patterns.Your steady, reaffirming, supportive teaching style helped me
to build a strong base for this dance.And it was easy and fun too!!An added Benefit!I feel confident I can now teach salsa and enjoy
helping others to learn this sizzling Latin dance.Thanks, also, in helping us with basic teaching
methodology.

To Josie from Jennifer
Dear Josie,
I had such a fun time learning salsa
from you.I
was so impressed by your technique, style, and teaching
methods.I
was even more impressed and thrilled to learn what a
wonderful personality you have and how fun and valuable
you make each moment you’re with us.I’m looking forward to learning more from you and
having lots more fun.You have really inspired me to teach salsa in a way that
makes it fun and easy and inspirational.Thanks so much.

To Josie from Justin
As an aspiring Salsa instructor I
found my time with Josie invaluable.She and her partner Alvaro make an awesome team.Their blend of hard work and humor make lessons
extremely productive.
My group not only took classes but
was given the opportunity to observe and assist in her
large group lessons.We all agreed that her instruction is clear, easy to follow
and most of all FUN!!!
Josie’s passion for Latin dance is
extremely contagious.Taking instructor classes from a teacher and
performer of her caliber has given me a foundation of
technique and confidence with which to excel in Latin
Dance instruction.
Justin Smith
To Josie from Laurie
It was obvious from the beginning
that our time with Josie and Alvaro would be very
productive and motivating.They had energy, passion and a love for salsa that was highly
contagious.Josie’s
training was well rounded and comprehensive, but it was
her love for the dance that inspired me most.Not only did she leave us with the confidence to
teach salsa, but she initiated the spark of excitement and
love for the dance in us that will no doubt be recognized
by our future students.I can’t thank Josie and Alvaro enough for their
time and patience.For
some reason I now have this uncontrollable urge to
practice ‘shine’ moves at home in my PJ’s…
Peace and Thanks,
Laurie O’Neill
Dearest Josie,
Greetings from Boulder!My staff is so great!They agreed immediately to write and tell you what
a terrific time they had with you both.Josie, there are no words to tell you how
grateful I am to you for coming to
Boulder and working with all of us.Your five day visit with us changed my school from
being weak on the salsa “side” to becoming one of the
hottest places in Colorado to learn Salsa.Your way of instructing was informative and
educational for the Ananda teachers.You were also a perfect example for my teachers of
how a good teacher conducts great group classes.I felt all along that your teaching philosophy was
in perfect sync with the Ananda philosophy.We are committed to making sure our students are
learning to dance AND having fun while they’re doing it.You made that happen for my teachers, my students
and, of course, for me too.Thank you.On
a professional level I feel the Ananda Academy has made a
wonderful connection with you and your business.Having you as a “partner” in our school gives
us even more credibility and visibility among the other
dancers in our community.It is with great pride that we will include you in
our marketing and advertising to let the world know that
Ananda is a serious dance institution.So serious in fact that we bring in only the best.Of course, in the world of Salsa the bestis Josie Neglia! We look forward to having you back
in April and to many more workshops, training sessions and
just dancin’ together in the years to come.
Sincerely,
Gabriel Wilson
Artistic Director, Ananda Academy
