Mentoring for Teachers

Working collaboratively to integrate science, innovation & enjoyment into your classes

WHAT DO WE DO IN THE SESSIONS?

We focus on addressing topics related to your teaching practice through science-based and innovative approaches, and do anything from analysing needs and problem-solving to designing classes with specific training outcomes. Sessions can be in relation to almost any aspect of your ballet practice and to which my background as a dance scientist, teacher, and mentor, as well as our collaborative work can be of help to enhance your skills. Read more about what we do in the sessions.

WHO IS THIS MENTORING FOR?

Ballet teachers of any background! Whether you are an aspiring or an experienced teacher these sessions are for you. Since we work collaboratively to address the issues or topics of your interest, it is our backgrounds combined that will allow for critical thinking and problem solving to work on aspects of your current practice.

More about the mentoring sessions

Sessions are completely guided by your interests and integrate a lot of self-assessment guided by questions so that we can identify your need and elaborate an effective plan.

Some examples of things that I have worked with teachers are:

Going over an exercise / RAD grade / step / variation and designing ways to teach something that you or your students may find challenging
How to improve students' recall of exercises / balance / jumps
Coaching to prepare for a ballet teacher certification
Adding innovative and fun exercises for adult classes
Designing classes for teens who do another genre of dance but need ballet to complement their technique

Outcomes of the sessions are specific and tailored to your practice! Such as clearly outlined exercises thought out for your students and adequate to your time with them (no ideal training plans that most likely will not happen).
