TESTIMONIALS

Joimove's online and live training helped me to adapt my training to suit my needs and those of my community, because each country, city, and class has its own specific skills and needs. At Joimove, I'm always able to ask questions and get the support which helps me to continue to grow. I started my journey with Joimove instructor training and now I have been representing my country since 2016. Now I am one of the Joimove trainers and looking forward to supporting you on your journey.

Have Questions?

When can I start? Next term will begin on  2nd of May 2022 and will last for 12 weeks. You will receive a link to your welcome call with Selen when you register. 

What is the weekly/monthly time commitment for the training? During the first 6 weeks, you will be focusing on reading the course materials, watching Joimove training videos, and taking part in live sessions and Q&As. During the second half of the course, you will be practising dancing and getting ready for your own classes. The course will likely take 5-10 hours a week. 

How will I access the course materials? Your course will be delivered weekly on Mondays commencing the week of May 2nd, 2022. You can download/print the instructor manuals if you wish or read them online. The course videos cannot be downloaded; however, they can be watched on any device and streamed at your convenience. 

Are there any prerequisites? After receiving your application, we will contact you to schedule a video chat/interview with you.

Are there any extra or additional fees? Your 2022 membership fees are included in your training cost. If you want to continue as an active member for 2023, your annual membership fee will be £100.

With this certificate, where can I teach? You can teach internationally at sports and leisure centres, dance schools, community and wellbeing centers, public and private organisations, and more. There are no geographic restrictions.

How can I access Joimove classes during my training? You will receive an invitation link to join online Joimove sessions with Selen and Joimove Trainers.

Can I still design my own dance and exercise routines after my training? Yes, the Joimove technique is flexible and encourages instructors to build on their own uniqueness.

I trained in dance or fitness instruction years ago. Is this course still suitable for me? If you have a dance/sports instruction background, but have not been working in the field recently, this training is still suitable for you.

I don’t have any formal dance training. Can I still join? Please fill in the application form and get in touch.  We have extremely skilled Joimove leaders in our team who had no prior formal dance education. You might become one of them!

Can I get a refund? Because of the nature of the materials and training, once you have access to your course materials there will be no refunds.

If I can’t attend one of the live sessions, will I be able to watch it later? The Q&A sessions will be recorded, but the live Joimove sessions are not. You will have unlimited access to our on-demand Joimove sessions as part of your learning. 

Does the training include insurance for instructors? As a Joimove graduate, you will become an internationally certified and independent instructor. Your current Public Liability or/and Professional Indemnity insurance for sports/dance/fitness/yoga/movement teachers will continue to cover your Joimove classes.

I only want to teach classes for the elderly/only for new moms with babies. Is this course for me? This intensive summer course will provide you with the Joimove fundamentals. You will become a Joimove instructor and start running Joimove joyfulness dance and wellbeing classes for all. If after your training you want to gain expertise in one of our specific programs like Dance with Babies Babywearing dance, or Joimove Seniors, you can choose to sign up for personalised training with Joimove trainers upon graduation.

What programme/apps do I need to use at Joimove Training? ZOOM for video meetings, WhatsApp for group connections, and Google Docs/Microsoft Office/another document reader to view and create text files and Google account to access your cloud storage.

What are the dates and times of the live Q & As? Every Sunday 6pm UK time (1pm Eastern) via Zoom.

What if I miss one of the Q & As with Selen? We will record each session so you can view it at your convenience. In addition, we would encourage you to keep in contact with other students and our team online via WhatsApp. This will be a great resource for you and will offer you the opportunity to exchange ideas with other students and submit questions for Selen if you cannot make one of the live Q & As.
