Attend a national teaching training program or workshop. These workshops help future teachers learn how to teach Country Western dance to children and adults. They also help you network with other teachers.
Study the different styles of Country Western dancing, foot and body positions, terminology, sound equipment and Country Western music. It is best to learn as much as possible about Country Western dancing and how to teach it before taking the exam.
Find a local company that gives the Country Western Certification exam. Some places, like some National Teacher Association locations may automatically pass you after you attend some training programs or workshops. You must pass the exam, or get automatically passed, in order to become certified to teach Country Western Dance.
