Such as no mortals use to tread, fit only for Apollo
To play to, for the Moon to lead, And all the Stars to follow."
“ As a studio owner, I am constantly weighing benefits vs. drawbacks and I usually expect there to be at least a few drawbacks to every decision. But once in a great while, something wonderful comes along that produces all benefits and no drawbacks. The Ballroom Dance Teachers College-in-a-Box is one of those wonderful things. From the steady and healthy monthly income (which paid for the program in the first eight months), to the pool of well-qualified teachers you are training, to the excellent lesson plans and course material, to the friendly and helpful staff . . . the list goes on and on. Two years after purchasing BDTC-in-a-Box, I could not be happier with my decision to get involved with Diane Jarmolow and this spectacular program. I highly recommend the BDTC-in-a-Box to anyone and everyone interested in improving the standard of excellence for ballroom dance teachers.”

“This program is the best thing we have ever done. I'm so grateful to Diane for this outstanding program. In addition to the wealth of knowledge, we are generating a very steady and excellent income stream for our studio. As proof of the excellence of this program, we are now licensed by the State of Virginia as an official vocational school.”

“I am 1,000% behind The Box. The program is phenomenal. It is structured and clear. It sets high standards for the trainees and then helps them to achieve them. My trainees work incredibly hard, and they love this course. I’m proud that Alliance Dance Institute is part of changing the way dance teachers are trained in this country. The Box makes it possible for people to achieve their dreams.”

“Training ballroom dance teachers seemed like it would be easy. And we tried. Wow, what difference with the BOX. The manuals have more information than you could ever ask for. The program gives you a high level of confidence and strength which gives you the freedom to be focused on the students. Each week we realize the enormous generosity of Diane for sharing her knowledge and expertise with us. You can’t put a price to this. We just started the program in September and we are already getting calls from studios to hire our students. We know we are teaching the students the right things because we just have to follow the bookstand do it. It is simple to teach Ballroom ONLY if you have this program.”

“I have been working with Diane for over eight years in many capacities. She created our excellent DVIDA Certification testing system, has edited and created DVIDA manuals, and has run our management seminars at the Las Vegas Dance Camp for the last four years. I can say with absolute certainty that she has been a major contributor to the success of DVIDA. I have reviewed her Ballroom Dance Teachers College-in-a-Box, and am extremely impressed with the wealth of information, the structure, and the magnitude of this course. I can’t see how any studio could lose by investing in this program. Vocational schools for ballroom dancing are a benefit to the studio owner, the trainees, and the general public. This is a GREAT opportunity for dance studios.”
