Geek Out with Treasure Marshall – Again!

 

Teaching Dance to Children

 
Belly Dance Geek Clubhouse Episode 52:
My guest, Treasure Marshall, will talk about the special considerations in teaching dance to children.

 

 
 As a dance that many students discover as adults (or in their late teens), belly dance teachers many not have encountered or are uncertain about how to teach the dance to younger teens and children.

But many people get their first taste of the joy of dance as kids, and with some thought and planning, belly dance teachers can find ways to share the art and cultures of our dance with children.
 

You’ll learn:

• Why you should consider including small children in your offerings, even if you’ve never thought about teaching kids
• What the best starting age is and why
• How you can get a group started

 
We’ll also have some discussion time, so you can ask Treasure your questions.
