for Pro`s and students:
Pro`s and students normally call me in to get specific help with their dance technique. We would have a conversation to see what expectations you have or where you would like some help. Then it is normally spending time at the barre or in the studio to do the necessary work. From there we see if additional theoretical or physical work is helpful. We might also consider some extra work as homework. Students and Pro`s decide if they want their progress to be supervised by me until the changes are established.
for dance teachers:
You can either call me in for a Custom Seminar or you could call me to get advice and supervision over a certain period of time.
If we agreed to do a Custom Seminar we would have a conversation to see what expectations you have or where you would like some help. I would like to know if there is anything in particular you would like me to do or explain during the class as sometimes students need a different approach or explanation to take the next step.
(The concept presented below is an example which could vary according to your wishes and needs. We will agree on what suits you in our first meeting.)
Concept example:
I observe at least one of your classes to work out the following:
- How is the energy/general work atmosphere ?
- How is the communication/ interaction between instructors and students?
- How do students respond to given corrections ?
- What is the expected technical level of work ?
With this information I work out what changes I consider helpful to create an inspiring class atmosphere in which progress comes naturally.
Meeting for teachers
We will have a talk about your expectations of the class I am about to teach. I will present my ideas based on the info I received from you together with my observations. This assures that I reach everyone and teach the skills needed. We then set a date for the workshop/class.
Workshop (class with the content we agreed on)
The class I teach would be the product of the information collected beforehand. According to the need of theoretical input the length of the class could vary between 60-90 mins for older students or adults; 45mins in case of very young children. (The class would be no longer than 90 mins. due to the need to be fully concentrated during class).
Chat with students and instructors at the end of class or:
If there is a specific issue, we might decide to do this in a more private atmosphere after class and find a solution which suits the instructors personality to assure consistent progress and a successful future.
Or: Just call me in for advice!
In this case I would come to watch your classes, give you feedback and make suggestions for changes I consider necessary to achieve your goals. If you wish I supervise you until the changes are established.
