|
|
|
1) DDN Affiliate = Standard network member = Pays NO fees
2) VSC Participant = Continuing-ed student = Pays fees per single subject
3) DTC Candidate = Authorised Provisional Tutor = Pays monthly tuition
4) LRI Graduate = Licensed Regional Instructor = Pays annual license fees
5) QDS Licensee = Qualified Dance School = Pays recurring monthly fees
Comparison of Individual Membership levels - i.e. options 1 thru 4 only.
1) DDN Affiliate = Standard network member = Pays NO fees
Domiinion Dancer Network (DDN) affiliattion is open to anyone who has committed their life to Jesus Christ and is a practioner in the field of Christian Dance. Membership is FREE. To enroll, click here for the Join DDN page; but first, please review our Membership comparision chart below.

2) VSC Participant = Continuing-ed student = Pays fees per single subject
Virtue Seminar Certificate (VSC) participants study one subject/eSeminar at a time, much like a continuing-ed student. Tuition fees are thus paid on a per subject basis. To enroll, just pay the $167 Registration fee for eSeminar MIN-111, click here. Find out more from our Membership comparision chart below - particularly the VCDS info - as well as the Degree/Certification page.

3) DTC Candidate = Authorised Provisional Tutor = Pays monthly tuition
Degree/Teaching Certification (DTC) candidates follow a focused program structure. Each year's ten-subjects-per-certification-level, are studied over three trimesters, i.e. nine months. Because teaching practice is an integral part of the Certification program, all candidates must enroll at least six of their students/members, to whom they will teach the VCC curriculum. Therefore, we will grant a Provisional Tutor's Permit (PTP) to all DTC candidates as official permission for them to teach our unique VCC curriculum to their students/members. Read more about the PTP here.
The DTC fees for tuition and resources average approximately $2000 per year and are payable in nine monthly installments; starting with the $300 deposit, and then eight monthly installments @ approximately $210 each. To enroll, you must register as a VSC participant @ $167 to study the first subject/eSeminar, MIN-111; during which you will be forwarded the necessary details for converting to DTC candidacy. Thus, like with the VSC, to enroll you need only pay the $167 Registration fee for eSeminar MIN-111, click here. But before enrolling we urge you to thoroughly review both our Membership comparision chart below - particularly the PTP privileges - as well as the Degree/Certification page.

4) LRI Graduate = Licensed Regional Instructor = Pays annual license fees
Licensed Regional Instructor (LRI) graduates are successful DTC candidates who would have completed all ten subjects in a given year of Certificate studies - i.e. Certificate 1, or 2, or 3, or 4, etc - thus qualifying for both VIRTUE's Certification & RI License, as well as the relevant University-issued Diploma from Christian Leadership University (CLU). LRIs have the option of furthering their studies in higher stages of the VDC/VCC curriculum. Thus they will either pay tuition fees if they do decide to enroll for further studies, or instead pay annual membership fees if they do NOT enroll for further study. Since only graduating DTC candidates qualify for this prestigious level of membership, access to enrollment is not available from this site. However, if you do aspire to this level of membership please click to find out more from the Membership comparision chart below - particularly the RIL privileges section- as well as both the Degree/Certification and Licensing pages.

5) QDS Licensee = Qualified Dance School = Pays recurring monthly fees
Qualified Dance School (QDS) license, unlike the above four options, is available to institutions, not individuals. A Christian dance school can become a QDS when:
(i) its lead instructor becomes an LRI, and continues to upgrade their education with VIRTUE through continued tuition registration at discounted rates, as well as
(ii) the school continues to enroll their students in progressively higher levels in the VCC program.
This is the most prestigious level of membership, thus access to enrollment is by invitation only, extended by VIRTUE to successful LRI's. If you do aspire to this level of membership please email your request for consideration. And since they are not listed in the individual membership comparison chart below, here are the special benefits and privileges available to QDS licensees - you may also click here for more QDS details ...
16) Grant of a non-exclusive Qualified Dance School (QDS) license, which is valid for as long as the LRI and VCC students are current with their studies, participation and fee payments. The QDS license is evaulated each year for re-issuance.
17 ) Entitlement to the use of the VIRTUE Qualified Dance School title at the relevant Stage.
18) Upgraded verifiable archive listing in our website database of your school's QDS status.
19) Special Permission to use our official QDS logo on your school's website.
20) Prominent feature in our Recommended Schools directory, and in our notices to visitors seeking a licensed QDS in their locale.
