Parents may want to remain close by to encourage attention and help with any technology issues that might arise. 

If any technological issues arise during class (ex: teacher is inaudible), parents can send me a message in the chat on Zoom and I will do my best to resolve the issue. 

If a family has any special needs, comments, or concerns before or after class they can feel free to send me a private message on Outschool and I will do my best to accommodate to your satisfaction within 48 hours. 

This ballet class is great for students who are neurotypical, neurodiverse, have Autism, ADHD, speech impairments, dyslexia, Down Syndrome, and many other disability classifications. 

Families, often new students (to ballet or online classes) will take a few sessions to simply sit and observe. Depending on the child this may last for 1 session or 10 sessions until the student feels comfortable and confident enough to participate. I try to allow students to take their time to warm up and quietly encourage them when they begin to engage more in class. 

Some students take this class for a few years before "moving up" to the next level, other students are ready after a few weeks--each child is different. Feel free to send me a private message to ask about your child's progress in class or you can evaluate by asking yourself these questions:
-Is my child having fun in class?
-Does my child have the names of some of the basic steps memorized?
-Does my child follow along during class with little or no prompting?
-Does my child step "toe, heel" during ballet walks?
-Can my child coordinate skipping and galloping? 
-Would my child be able to maintain focus for a longer class?
