Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
A small interview comes first. In this interview both student and me are able to 'catch the vibe': student can ask all questions in regard to the lesson that is about to start, and I can find out all information I need for the best quality of instructions. This information might be about favourite type of music (since dancing and music are connected), any injuries or conditions that I need to be aware of (since this is an active physical activity), what is the best way to approach information to this specific person (visual, kinesthetic, audible, written, a combination of them). After that student is being suggested the best plan for achieving their goals, all needed adjustments are being made in this plan, and we start learning the basics.
