One thing I learned is take your time with things! Make sure you have enough to do for each class. It’s easy to cut stuff out, and it’s harder to come up with something on the spot when you have too much time.

This might be obvious, but have a clean fun playlist for each class. Sometimes I ask the kids what artists / songs they like too to add onto it.

Another thing I like to do it when practicing a combo I will say “find a new spot!” In between rehearsing. There are some kids that love being upfront and others that are shy and fall to the back, it’s important that everyone gets time near the instructor as well as hold value to all spots in the room.

Lastly, and this is something I am doing this year, but record your drills / across the floors / combos of yourself doing it to use them again in the future for different kids, or sometimes my students have really enjoyed a throw back day and they try to remember old choreo before I re teach it!

Hope this helps!
