Hmmm, why had I neglected this poor blog for over 5 months? I had a brief stint as a dance instructor trainee and that was a tad disappointing! I just did not like the teacher and as much as I tried, I could not get what she was doing at the pace she expected. No dance experience necessary- MY ASS! If that is truly the case, why teach so fast then?
So I am switching schools, or at least trying a new one.
There is nothing worse than knowing (as a teacher) that your teacher is not doing his or her job well yet makes you feel guilty for being a quitter! I have to say, I learned more about how to teach and treat my students fro her than my teacher training course. I learned what not to do, and perhaps I saw that because I am seasoned now, but the other students seemed perfectly content. Two reasons; they are in their 20s, AND they have been dancing ALL THEIR LIVES!!
Lesson learned! Test it before you buy it. Most do that with cars, employees, and even spouses, so why not a course that costs you money and time when both are precious commodities!
