Level 1 is about on going relationship with deeper understanding and communication. The purpose is to receive adequate training, understanding and experience in order to be a capable teacher of worship dance. Upon successful completion, you’ll receive a Dance Teacher’s Certificate with the option of applying for Licensure.

Requirements

Purchase all 33 of the DFH products or complete your library (of the most current versions) within the current school year or before.
Complete your payment for the course (details below).
Once you register, you will be given your course outline web link with detailed instructions. Not only will you study (during a specific completion timeline), write about and review each product, but you will be asked to do (not just watch) some of the more active topics (ballet, modern, stretch etc.). There will be certain time frames where you will work on several subjects simultaneously. Your video assignments will be uploaded to a private Facebook page. Your one page written essays will be sent via email and 3 sentence evaluations of each product will be uploaded to the DFH book store in two places. So you must be able to understand these on-line vehicles.
You will be asked to join in on our monthly, group discussion phone chats through “Talkshoe.” If you can not join in with us on the selected date, you will need to listen to the recording within a two week period of time.
You will be asked to write in two worship dance related questions per month that we may or may not discuss during the phone chats. These should be questions that have been on your heart related to team concepts/issues, presentation techniques, choreography and/or ministry.
When we study Choreography and Dance Composition, Creative Worship, and others, you’ll be given video assignments respectively. You’ll have a place on a private Facebook page where you may upload your video assignments for peer review.
From the time you register, within that calendar year, you’ll be required to register and attend at least one DFH event (at your own expense) with the intention of serving the ministry. This could be at the registration table, helping to set up/break down, selling the products, counting off groups for the activations and possibly assisting Lynn with some of the demonstrations. You will also be asked to teach a portion of an exercise for one of the scheduled classes and administrate that (only about 5-8 minutes).
All graduating students are required to attend the January Teacher’s conference as well. You will not have to pay a registration fee for this one. If you will have successfully completed the year of study and assignments, you may serve the Level 2 teachers, help with set up/clean up, serve the food, do the registration and product tables, etc. At the end, on Saturday evening, certificates will be awarded.
Sometime within the calendar year, you’ll be required to submit two letters of recommendation from people who will have seen you teach some form of dance. Or one of the letters may be from your Pastor.
You will be required to send in your biography in an extended version. This would be something you could put on your own web site. Also, send a very condensed version that could be placed on a conference hand out. Along with that, send a nice head shot photo.

There will be a private Facebook page where you may communicate and share with others who are also going through the programs.

The program will go according to a calendar year, beginning February 1st. However, you may come in at any time. This means you may need to double up on your assignments, reading and study, etc. in order to complete the program with your class. All assignments must be turned in by the end of November to receive your certificate. It is preferred that you steep yourself in the information (not just skim through quickly to get the certificate) and spend time getting to know the other students and Pastor Lynn. In otherwords, it is not advised to come into the program too late in the year. In fact, anyone who registers for the school after July 31, will automatically be considered a student for the following year.

You may register early (before February 1st and will be given a partial outline, so you may begin studies), however we ask that you not turn in any assignments until they are due. This will allow you to get ahead a little, which you will so greatly appreciate. Then, the week of February 1st, all those who will have registered early will receive the rest of the outline and all the other things mentioned above.

Registration

The cost, in addition to your conference and materials fees, is $500. All tuition must be paid in full before beginning your program. There are absolutely no refunds and no extensions to the following year. All assignments must be completed by November 30th of that year. If you are unable to complete the program, for any reason, your tution will become a donation to DFH. If you need to repeat the program, you will be required to register again. Upon successful completion of that year’s program, you will receive a Dance Teacher’s Certificate. This will stand as Dancing For Him Ministries’ approval of your ability to teach the subjects you will have learned. In October of that year, you may apply for a Dance Minister’s License. There is no extra cost - only an application, communication, an additional bible study with activations and prayerful evaluation.

Shortly after you register, we will send you the course outline, FB page and chat information (unless it is before February 1). We’ll also begin a folder for you and keep track of your progress.

Thank you for embarking on a wonderful journey into the realm of worship dance. May the blessings of the Lord overtake you!

“Dancing for Him school has inspired me, given me connections, and helped me form friendships with dancing sisters and brothers that will last into the heavenly realms. I am stronger and becoming more disciplined in my technique as well. I have been encouraged that all my experience and wisdom and abilities have not been wasted. I have learned so much in how my God given talent and desire of my heart does honor, minister, and glorify Him. I would encourage anyone who thinks they are Called to Dance to take advantage of this awesome school and all the wonderful things Pastor Lynn Hayden has to impart.” Kati - GA

"I have thoroughly enjoyed this online worship dance school. What I love about Dancing For Him On-Line worship dance school was the amazing support from Pastor Lynn and my fellow classmates. I felt like we were a little family working together to accomplish a common goal which is really special in studying courses online. I also love the fact that this school has opened connections for me to meet other worship dancers with the same heart for the Lord and the dance ministry. I also loved learning the material and being stretched/challenged in my own choreography and being a teacher of worship art expression. It has been an amazing school year which caused me to grow tremendously into my next level of creativity. I cant wait to see what the Lord does next school year!!" Tyhisha - GA
