Our Teaching Philosophy
At Dance Works Studio our biggest pride is in creating an
affirming, friendly, fun, family-like atmosphere. It is important to us that
our dancers are challenged and
flourish both physically and mentally.
A good teacher also understands the honor and
etiquette of the art, which must be preserved and continued through new generations
and will lend insight from their own professional experience. We meet regularly
to discuss methods, individual students' progress and needs, and to share
ideas for the benefit of our school and all of our students. Many teachers
can pass along steps, but a truly experienced, professional teacher can
guide a young dancer through the process carefully and individually.
We believe that everyone has their own talents and creativity.
Once you have gotten to know how our school operates, you will find that
together with teaching the art of DANCE to our students, we aim to make
our students learning experience an enjoyable one because it
is always more fun to do something when you really like it. We also believe
that establishing a degree of rapport and trust between students and
teacher is very important to the learning process - never forgetting
that respect and discipline are also needed.
