Don't Know What to Teach This Summer? Read This!

TICK. TOCK. The countdown to summer dance camps, classes and programs is here. And if that countdown is keeping you up at night because you have no (freaking) clue what to teach (because you’ve had a million other things on your plate), I need you to know a couple things:

1. You’re not alone.

2. There’s an easy fix to this problem.

So, let’s address #1 first - 2020/2021 has been BANANS, so please cut yourself some slack. If I had to make up a random (but probably) true statistic, I’d say that approximately 92% of dance teachers feel like they’re heading into summer underprepared and weary to the bone. Take a breath, drink some water, and know that many of us are all in the same boat, and it might be choppy waters in the boat, but it’s not sinking. You’re doing just fine.

Ok, now onto #2.

I’m going to tell you my secret for what I started to teach when I was feeling like all my usual lesson plans, tricks, and fall backs were dull and annoying.

I started teaching the things I wish I’d had in summer programs as a young dancer.

Sure, I loved learning repertoire, having guest choreographers and new classes in different styles like Flamenco and African, but you know what would’ve been really helpful?

• Someone telling me how to calm down my inner critic

• A guide to show me how to change my mindset

• Support on what kinds of foods to eat to sustain me through 10 hour days dancing

So if you’re asking yourself, ‘what the heck am I going to teach this summer?’ here’s the question you need to ask yourself:

‘What did I wish someone was teaching me? Looking back, what tools and skills do I wish I had had as a young dancer?’

Your answer to those questions is also your answer to ‘what should I teach?’

If you’re anything like me, I’m guessing your answers will be similar to what mine were; mental health and wellness skills, learning how to manage my inner critic and not be such a perfectionist, developing a better relationship with food and my body…

Right? Right.
