Instructor Hub
A home for the people teaching the room
Teaching line dance is part craft, part community, and part small business. The Instructor Hub is where instructors can get found by dancers, share ideas, strengthen their teaching, and find tools to help grow what their community.

The framework behind Instructor Pro
Instructor Pro is being designed around three needs: teaching great classes, getting dancers into the room, and building a thriving, sustainable community.
Teach it
The craft of running a class
The craft of running a great class... Strengthen your teaching with practical strategies for class structure, cueing, dance selection, pacing, and creating a welcoming room.
Fill it
Getting people through the door
Practical marketing strategies and ready-to-use tools to help you promote your classes, reach more dancers, and build a community that keeps coming back.
Grow it
Building something that lasts
Teaching a great class is one thing. Building something you can keep showing up for is another. Learn how to create stronger venue relationships, make smart decisions about pricing and policies, handle the inevitable ups and downs, and build a line dance community that can grow without taking the joy out of teaching.
Teach with BOTG
A separate future path: Teach with BOTG
The public Instructor Directory helps dancers discover instructors and places to dance. If you teach line dancing, we'd love to help dancers find you. Teaching under the BOTG name is different. That will be a separate path for instructors who want to represent BOTG's teaching philosophy and floor culture.
