Knowing Your Class

Every great teacher or instructor must know the strengths of their class. If not, how can you reach them or make them feel like part of the team?

You do this by observing. How do they react when that really slow flamenco-Reggaeton song comes up? Do they slow down or do they jump right in? Which movements do they really get into? Are they barely moving and flushed or bursting with energy?And last but never least: are they smiling?

The fact of the matter is that the instructor who simply goes through the motions, will not retain their students. Make an effort to know their names, smile and acknowledge them. If you see them really grooving, tell them how proud you are. Encourage!

When you get to know your class, the positive energy will come shining through each and every time and assist you in improvement. Constantly improving your techniques and teaching style will continue to keep Zumba fun for you and your pupils.

Keep on dancing!
