Dance Education Canada is serious about preparing dance educators to work with children under all conditions and scenarios. We know that dance educators require access and exposure to current training, experience, expertise and insight to be able to apply tools tips and strategies to help their dancers realize the fullest extent of their talents. But what do we do during rehearsals? These stressful moments before a competition, or during a dress rehearsal, can cloud the purpose of these experiences for the dancers. How do we manage our own feelings while allowing students to improve and progress during rehearsals in so that they succeed in performance. Todays’ guest will provide us with tips, tricks and tools you can use when rehearing with children in so that they can succeed in performance.
