Teaching Sample
1.) : In 45 secs or less. We ultilize the 11 dance concepts in our classes. (photo is shown below) Pick 1 of these dance concepts. Introduce the concept to the camera as if a 3 year old is watching it. I usually like to start with, "Our BIG word of the day is______" Below are examples you can use or you can make your own. I'm looking for personality! Are you funny, energetic, extra, silly? You will have to grab their attention. Learning disguised as play! Do not use any specialized dance skills such as ballet, jazz, etc. But, Please use your body and physical energy and movement! Remember you as an instructor must be extremely engaging to keep a 3 year olds attention. (use imagery, silly fun, songs, etc.)
Applying for MUSIC: Teach and sing an early childhood music song as if a caregiver and their 2 year old are watching in in your class.
2.) *BONUS* Pick a game that students may play in a Birthday, dance, acro, or music class. Explain the rules as if you are explaining to a 4 year old.
