As lockdown remains, we are still continuing our online dance classes. Although we are not in the studio, we are still making the most of our dance lessons.
At The Oundle School of Ballet, we want our students to get the very best out of our online classes. This month’s blog is offering advice on how to prepare for them. For more information, call us on 01832 272981.
Plenty Of Space
Before your class begins, make sure you have plenty of space. You will require a large area for dancing, so you want to be clear from any obstructions. If possible, we recommend that you move some of your furniture to achieve this. That way, you are safe from any risk of injury or damage.
Make sure your space is well-lit and your camera is angled so your teacher can see you properly. If the room is too dull or the camera is poorly positioned, they cannot help you improve your performance.
Wear Your Uniform
Wearing your dance class uniform will help you feel like you’re in the studio. Furthermore, it is specifically designed for dancing so your movement isn’t restricted.
If you have long hair, we recommend putting it in a bun. This is especially helpful if it’s a ballet class. You don’t want your hair flicking into your face when spotting on turns.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Questions
Like you would if you were in the studio, please ask questions. If you’re not sure about something or need some help, your teacher is still available for advice.
Asking questions shows your teacher that you’re engaged in the class. Also, it gives them the opportunity to help you improve and further your learning.
Don’t forget that you can also use the chat feature but please refrain from using it to talk to your friends. You can do that in your own time.
Be On Time
Please remember to be punctual. If you are late, you are causing disruption to the class. Furthermore, you may miss important information in the introduction.
Punctuality is basic dance class etiquette, so please remember to be respectful to your peers and instructor.
Stay Hydrated
Make sure you always stay hydrated. Dancing is very physically active so it is important you keep on top of your water intake. Keep a glass of water close by, just in case you get thirsty.
Also, make sure you have gone to the toilet before the class starts. This prevents any disruption to your learning.
