open me for your free back-to-dance-season secret weapon 🕺


Hello Reader,

New season, new set of wiggly, excited dancers......and you already know the challenge: getting a room full of 4-year-olds (or 6-year-olds, or 10-year-olds for that matter!) to freeze in place and listen on cue, when needed.

The Sit Down Freeze, my brand new back-to-school resource, is a stop-and-go dance game built exactly for that. It teaches young dancers to turn a simple visual or verbal cue into an instant, still, seated pose — so when you need to regroup, give directions, or just get everyone’s eyes on you, they already know what to do. It's also a perfect practice lesson for different ways that your students can sit with focused bodies while waiting for their turn.

It’s simple enough for your youngest dancers and flexible enough to grow with your older ones by just adjusting the action cues. Download, print, play. Done!

As you’re setting up your dance classroom routines for the new season, this is an easy one to add to your toolkit from week one.

Here’s to a great season ahead!

It has been a gift to have the opportunity to examine my teaching resources in a more in-depth way than I have had time to, in a long while. The result? Lots of really good updates to Dance Dance Hooray...

In dance training, if technique is the "what" and the "how", then artistry is the "why". Artistry is the element that lifts skill, makes it human, and makes connection possible. It is what makes dance feel *magical* to us all. Like dance technique, it has to be cultivated and it requires an environment where students feel safe to take chances, find their personal voice, and try something new. The good news -- the "when" and the "who" -- is that you can start anytime and with any age level....
