Good Dance Teachers Don't Do This
Dance teachers wear a lot of hats, and most of us pride ourselves on being able to not only wear all those hats, but wear them well.
We pride ourselves on offering safe and fun dance classes of all types, for all ages. We know the importance of proper technique, safe training, age appropriate choreography, and brining out the best in each and every one of our students.
We all know there are things that make good dance teachers, and things that we’d never do.
You wouldn't just leave safe pointe work to fate.
You'd never just cross your fingers and hope dancers figure out correct placement and alignment.
Good dance teachers don't do that. Good dance teachers don’t leave things up to chance.
So why then, when it comes to dancer wellness - things like mental and emotional health, body image, and mindset, do we just leave those things up to chance?
Why just leave healthy body image to fate and hope dancers pick up a better body image in a few years?
Why just cross your fingers their parents will teach them about positive self talk and growth mindset?
Dancer mental and emotional health shouldn't be left up to chance either.
As dancers head back to in person dance classes and summer programs, it’s our job as dance teachers to help support students and make sure their mental, physical and emotional wellness isn't left up to chance.
If you're seeing your students struggle with things like:
Focus
Motivation
Perfectionism
Poor self confidence and body image

Mindfulness and meditation

So dancers are healthier, happier and more engaged.
It will also save you from:
Countless hours of sleep lost worrying about your students
Endless Google and Pinterest searches on mental health resources
