Studio Snob

anyone have jazzy contemporary playlists/songs?

teachers! do you have a preferred ballet syllabus for beginners? I have a lot of elem classes this year and want to have solid lesson plans

recital audiences when tiny dancers perform choreo really well vs when they bounce up & down, twirl, and gaze at the spotlights in confusion

I've basically become a dance teacher probs acc so while I'm at it: found out HALF a class couldn't do recital, had 1 class to make changes

I need to be getting ready for the morning show at 7:30 but I can't sleep bc dance is exciting and nerve wracking

rehearsals don't start for another hour so I'm napping on mats on the side of the stage

idk if I've mentioned this but my studio owner is 21 & has 2 locations with 500 students. meanwhile I watched Netflix for 3 hours yesterday

had final class on Friday, gave each student a pile of candy and removed a piece each time they fidgeted during the dance, VERY EFFECTIVE

my home studio had recital this weekend and I couldn't go bc the studio I teach at has rehearsals all week ASK ME IF IM EMO

accidentally sat next to the Worst mom in the lobby and had to sit there for an hour so I didn't seem rude rip

hi I had fourteen 3-4 year olds in tap shoes tonight and almost cried 2 times during class

I feel so attacked right now

I genuinely think being a rockette would be fun but terrifying

ITS HAPPENING

y'all I had a dream that I did an improv solo at a comp & it was country jazzy music & I got a fuccing bronze bc I couldn't deal w the song

okay, teachers: do you think it's possible to efficiently teach classes in a room with no mirrors?

y'all can feel free to ask me but ALSO it would be cool if you told ME ur answers to these questions ☺️

there is nothing I love more than being at a studio that emphasizes both technique and artistry

anyways I had the best teaching experience of my life today and I want to talk about it

I know someone who puts 5 head rolls in every dance it's gotten to the point where I want to intervene
