I made sure to observe and evaluate my student’s progress to determine suggestions for improvement while building skills on a week-to-week basis. I created detailed lesson plans to deliver consistent quality for classes of different time sets ranging from 45 minutes to an hour. Every year I was in charge of planning and creating intricate dance routines for the Spring time competition season. Dances consisted of different creative themes, skill level, and number of students. I learned to collaborate with an array of students who differed in cultures, age, sex, and, learning styles. It was my job to have professional organization across all the job responsibilities which included staff meetings, lesson plans, parent-observations, dance choreography and music deadlines. I’ve successfully inspired many of my student’s to pursue their own professional and artistic endeavors by using dance as a tool for confidence. Show less

An example of would be this; in the beginning of the year we learn foundations of “lockin” and two months in, we are incorporating “grooves, tutting, popping and waving which all built from “locking.” The difficulty of the dance moves increase incrementally each week as students progress. The competition classes differed in the regard that we will start training/rehearsals in the summer while completing the dance routines throughout the year. These classes had a lesson plan which required more advance movement and techniques to match the demand of the curriculum. These dancers often had 3 or more hours of HipHop during the week which required a more rigorous training regiment. Eventually when the pandemic hit we all went digital and I instructed class over zoom. Show less
