Teach ballet well.

"I really don’t know exactly what 'dancing' is all about yet. I’m here because Mom seems to think it’s a good thing for me, and I pretty much just try to do what she asks at this point in my life." A letter from a young dancer-to-be. ❤️ buff.ly/3JLwJUz #ballet #dance

The privilege you have as an influencer in their lives must never be underestimated. You have the chance to change their world and inspire the next generation of artists. Cherish it! buff.ly/35lt3af #ballet #dance

This is a great way to mix up class. You don’t have to change the steps they are learning in class or even the music you are using because the story itself will help it all feel brand new. buff.ly/3j4YBaz #ballet #dance #teachballetwell

Teaching "littles" has taught me so much in the past 14 years of teaching. It is not easy, and it is not necessarily for everyone! With the right information, and enough patience, anyone can learn! buff.ly/36Bo8oS #ballet #dance #teachballetwell

Do you visibly panic when they just aren't getting it? Do you lose your temper at the child who won't sit still? Keep the whole person in mind as you guide them through strong feelings, and take a deep breath before class begins. You got it! buff.ly/35lt3af #ballet #dance

Child Development experts know that this rule always applies: “Behavior that gets attention will always be repeated, even if the attention is negative!” Children want attention more than anything else. Negative is better than none at all. buff.ly/3JZa7jD #ballet #dance

Your presence in their life has the ability to resonate for years to come. They may not remember your name, but you gave all you had to them in the moments you had with them; they took those things and now you are a part of them. buff.ly/3NwoP3J #ballet #dance

Teachers are selfless. We love our students as if they were our own. If we're lucky, we get to see them develop as individuals with a strong and confident voice. It all starts with the giving heart of their teacher. balletcurriculum.com #ballet #dance #teachballetwell #inspire

"How much is too much?" or "When should I teach...?" have been two of the most common questions I've received from ballet teachers over the years. It often takes a great deal of focus and dedication to properly pace the lessons you give. buff.ly/3eU1XKh #ballet #dance

We teach them slowly, and following logical progression, not just because they need to grow at the appropriate pace, but because it teaches them to enjoy the process and to develop a love for learning. #teachballetwell #patience balletcurriculum.com

Saying “You are ready to try it” is a great way to let them know that you have faith in them to take this step upward in skill level. Telling them that they have accomplished something will motivate them to stick to it. buff.ly/3eU1XKh #ballet #teachballetwell

Even at the earliest age, ballet students are absorbing the classical principles we instill in them. From early on, there are fundamental movement and artistic elements that can be cultivated in order to develop their classical education. buff.ly/35t3DYt #ballet

Injury is, of course, the last thing we want for our students. Too often #pointe students are pushed too hard too soon, and they face irreversible damage to their joints or ligaments. buff.ly/3pjeOL0 #ballet #teachballetwell
