What’s the progression look like to becoming an instructor, or a professional dancer?

Not necessarily stating these ambitions for myself but I’m curious what kind of work is put in to get to this level. Is there like a certification process for becoming an instructor?

I’ve been dancing about 1.5 years now and it’s been a really positive experience. Lately when I’ve showed up to events in my local scene I’ve started having follows recognize me and ask me to dance with them which has been really encouraging!

I thought if someday I move to a place without an active salsa community I’ll always want to dance, so it would be fun to start a scene by putting some events together and teaching.

(I hope it is clear at my current level I’m not considering teaching anything- I know I have a long way to go, just a fun thought for the long term)
