4)How will you teach? I will be teaching through a live zoom. I encourage all students to have their video camera and microphone on, but it is not required after attendance. 

5) What's your teaching style? I use a very creative and engaging approach while teaching dance. Every step we do can be related to imaginative play. Such as a “Leap” in jazz is like jumping over a pond. I also name my left and right sides to avoid confusion. Your right side is named “Sally” and your left side is named “Johnny”. 

6) How much will learners get to interact with you and each other (mention specifics like: lecture, games, slides, video clips, discussion)? Throughout class we will be interacting as a group: like talking about there favorite character. Also each child will have an opportunity to tell me what they are imagining while doing the steps. I always play fair and allow each student to have an opportunity to speak.

7) Any required experience or knowledge learners need?

No experience need.

Students will be participating in a physical fitness/movement activities though out the class. Please be aware that your child can end up injuring  themselves. Therefore please make sure your child has sufficient dance space, proper foot ware (choice of ballet shoes, barefoot, Jazz shoes, tap shoes, and/or sneakers). In addition, I encourage all students to have a water bottle near by and is warmed up before class to avoid injury’s. Parental supervision is strongly encourage to help your dancer assure their safety and spacial awareness.
