🪄 the magic of dance and a FREE tap sample lesson plan 🆓 😁
Chances are, since you are a dance teacher, DANCE feels like MAGIC to you -- the music, the expression, the creativity......the magic of everything coming together.
Chances also are that a particular dance style (or age group) feels most magical for you teach -- creating lesson plans or choreography for that style or age comes easily to you.
But, what about those other dance styles and age groups? How can you make preparing and teaching for them feel like magic too?
For me, TAP DANCE has always been the most magical of all -- as a student, as a performer, and as a teacher. Tap lights me up, and I want to share that with you.
Would you like the ease of having a system and structure for tap class that:
- creates consistency from class to class and level to level
- sets students up for success, by reaching different types of learners
- builds in necessary skill repetition while still feeling fresh
- can cut hours off of your planning time while leaving you feeling more prepared than ever!
WITHOUT having to do extra work? You can get it, with A LITTLE BIT OF TAP DANCE MAGIC!

Have a wonderful weekend!

dance dance HOORAY
Hello Reader, It is August, and back-to-dance season is here. (How can summer be over??) This summer was a different one for me, shifting away from my prior responsibilities as a studio owner and into my role at a new studio, as a teacher and curriculum director. TEACHER mode activated. 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...
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,...
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....
