How to be a good "senior university" dance teacher?

Teaching middle-aged and elderly dance has been a large number of years, in the process of teaching, I also not only learn and summarize, I sincerely hope to follow me to learn aunts learn things, enjoy the dance, happy happy! \x0d\ First of all, I would like to talk about the current situation of the middle-aged and elderly people learning dance in the society nowadays ~~~~~~~\x0d\ Possibly in the 90's or earlier, the middle-aged and elderly people learning dance is just more aimed at exercising the body, moving the hands and feet, cultivating the sentiments, enjoying the body and mind, the quality of the dance is not a very high requirement, many aunts can't even move their arms and legs even at the beginning, and they don't have enough knowledge of the dance, let alone the requirement of the teacher. Many aunts can't even move their hands and feet at the beginning, and they don't know enough about dance, not to mention the requirements of the teacher, who only stays at learning the routines and movements! Slowly with the progress of the times `social development of the aging process accelerated, more dance enthusiasts in society also put into the middle-aged and elderly dance teaching, through the professor and continue to learn, aunts with more teachers `dance more `knowledge of the dance to learn a finished dance is basically no problem, of course, dance more than that is no problem! I admire the old aunts for their love and persistence of dance, I am touched by it, but gradually I found a common phenomenon appeared, we just stayed in the learning, when learning and then want to learn a new one, learn a lot of finished dances but are not fine! In my opinion, the middle-aged and elderly through the study of folk dance, first of all, to strengthen the body, cultivate sentiment, prevent dementia, to achieve the cultivation of the mind, body such a purpose! Let yourself become younger, more temperament, more beautiful ~~~~~~~~~\x0d\but this group of middle-aged and elderly people, due to the physiological organs within the body on the function of the degenerative aging, psychological and emotional aspects of the phenomenon of capricious aging, so as such a group of teachers must be professional, in order to the physiological and psychological characteristics of the middle and old people to arrange our teaching program (dance) Teaching, choreography, etc.) for the students in the class from shallow to deep, step by step to complete each stage of the teaching program and tasks! Although the University for the Elderly is a special nature of the school, the students do not assess, do not test, teachers, students have no pressure, but as a teacher should understand how to teach and choreography can make students learn, learn well, progress, only through the correct method and teaching so that the dance to bring them pleasure, rather than physical injuries and gradual improvement, only in accordance with the correct method of learning in order to have a qualitative leap! Only in the right way to learn in order to have a qualitative leap! Dance beautifully! Dance with meaning! \x0d\ dance is a cruel art, the requirements of the body is very high, the body's flexibility, coordination, the ability to mimic, including the understanding of music, sense of music, etc. are very important, of course, we can not rush to look at this group of professional eyes, a dancer is a small child after a long period of professional `scientific training in order to come out, that is, do as we are in the middle-aged and elderly people to learn the dance time is short, no systematic training how to do! I think the teacher is very important! I think the teacher is very important, the teacher should be able to use the correct teaching methods and professional dance skills to guide the students to learn, middle-aged and elderly people are generally reluctant to learn the form, practicing simple basic skills, the wrong idea that I'm this old and still learn that what to do ~ ~ ~ So I do not know that even the basic upright did not improve, stand did not stand, and talk about the hands and feet it? \x0d\ so I recommend that my students first learn form, some simple basic skills of practice, so that to come back with the study of dance will be much better, I will choreograph some simple, we can accept the action, in accordance with my requirements can be gradually achieved, of course, in teaching, I will continue to remind as long as your limit can not force themselves, but must try, can not feel that I can not do it not! I can't do it, so I won't do it! Teachers should break down the movements very fine, to teach and practice repeatedly, forcing students to memorize, only first remember, can then dance well, to find the feeling! Of course, the students have to digest it by themselves, so that they can improve gradually! Now most of the students just rely on the time in the classroom once a week, the next week to come back to the teacher, so only practice not practice can not be improved. There are many students just learned not to jump, and even think they are very good, especially "small teachers" I think the mindset is very important, the so-called capable teacher, some of the "small teachers" did not put down their own, so it is not good to learn, but also can not learn, we all learn from each other is the most important, learn from each other, learn from each other. Learning from each other is the most important thing, learning from everyone's strengths, so that we can improve and get better and better! To understand the dance of this thing is not the best, you want to be good can be no end, I remember the previous competitions or performances teachers always feel that you are not good enough, only to the day of the competition, and even than the end of their own still feel bad position, so put down their own, serious study, really from the heart and enjoy the dance! Again, I think that when we will dance after listening to the teacher to explain more, try to do, so that they are better, some of the students I repeatedly say, she still do according to their own, I do not know why? I can't understand? The problem is that it is not done correctly, and it does not look good, and even the rhythm is not allowed! This is very fatal, and even some students also bet that I just come to exercise, do not want to learn ~~~~~ so that I am speechless, but please have these voices of people do not come to judge the teacher how ~~~~ because you are not qualified to judge! We are here to talk about how to learn well, they do not follow the requirements to do still say that the teacher is not good! This will be speechless ~ ~ Oh then I also want to talk about the learning method is very important! Do not just follow the jump, to force themselves to memorize the action to find a way to find their own way, some aunts will say that we are old ah ~ memory is not good, of course, there will be such a problem, I can forgive and understand, but there are also the same age, and even some old aunts older than all of us much how they remember very familiar, jumping good ah! So it's all about the method! \x0d\ in the process of learning I do not know how other teachers teach, my teaching method is: action to be repeated a few times, and then invite everyone to dance, more than 90% of the class can I passed, so if you learn slowly, I can teach a few times, which do not have to follow each of these times, the first time to follow the second time to try to do it on their own, and if it does not work to look at a time, focus on their own will not be able to see the location of the position. Rest can ask, can come back to digest, the 4th time to follow so it will be much better ~ (of course, this teaching method teacher will be very hard), in the classroom on their own memory, slowly get used to it. Many students have counted on either the teacher or the person in front of her, so others
