There's no single educational track for becoming a dance teacher, and the education you'll need is partially dependent upon where you want to work. Small, private dance studios often establish their own requirements for dance teachers, and sometimes they only mandate that a teacher has lots of dance experience.n education-related degree, such as early childhood education, can equip you to teach dance as well as other subjects in the school system. After you graduate, you'll need to become licensed before you can teach dance in the public school system, but you might not need a license to teach at a private dance school.
