ROBERT CORDOBA

Global Professional Dance Instructors Association (GPDIA)
 
The GPDIA was founded by Michael Kiehm as a guideline for learning to teach, with the purpose of training aspiring instructors that would eventually be working as independent or employed teachers for the any dance organization.
Note, we are not an organization that is trying to standardize a particular syllabus or a single way of teaching a concept.

Simply put, we are here to aid in giving you the tool as an instructor to better explain demonstrate and teach any 
movement related to dance.  Since it’s conception in the early 90’s, Michael has taken the  course studio on tour throughout the US and abroad and has certified instructors in all levels and styles of dance.  Robert Cordoba is now offering this course.  

​

The certification course is approximately 7 hours ($500) plus 1.5 to 2 hours for the exam ($50, if taken). Participants may take the course without testing, but cannot be certified without the exam.
