The best thing that I have done as a coach is to study dance myself. I have found that taking ballet classes has giving me invaluable tools to teach technique to my dancers. After I take a class I write down what I learned and work that into my practice plans. I also take hip hop classes at both dance studios and heath clubs. It’s a great way to get choreographic inspiration and gain a handle on this very popular style of dance.
