India International Dance Institute
proudly presents the Dance Instructorship Certification Program (DICP 4) with renowned instructor Tapash Das.
The Dance Instructorship Certification Program has produced a growing cohort of professional dance educators who now teach across Kolkata and beyond. By focusing on pedagogy rather than a single dance style, DICP graduates are equipped to teach Bollywood, Hip Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, or any other form they specialise in — making the certification one of the most versatile credentials available to aspiring instructors in India.
Twist N Turns strongly encourages prospective instructors to complete DICP before applying for teaching roles at its studios. The programme’s emphasis on injury prevention and anatomy ensures students are trained safely, which is a core priority across all eight Twist N Turns locations in Kolkata.
Following the success of our first three intensive successful programs, we are excited to launch the Fourth edition of this comprehensive certification course.
