How to have a good first lesson in children's dance

Before the first lesson, we first ask ourselves, what is the meaning and goal of the first lesson? Teachers who have taken the teacher's license have been exposed to psychology, remember that there is a section of psychology called "first cause effect"? The professional explanation is that the impression left by people in their first interaction with each other forms and dominates the effect in the other person's mind. The first significance arises when you meet a parent for the first time, and the impression you leave on the parent is that you are both professionally competent and capable of managing children. The impression to be left on the children is that you have a sense of humor and are good at mediating their atmosphere. If the first time you can do parents and children can leave a pertinent impression, you will reduce a lot of pressure in the future classes, parents and children will be pre-disposed to you have a sense of trust, trust you, you'll be good class ah ~ the second goal: to let parents understand you some of the rules and regulations of this training course, such as classroom bathroom to change life shoes, for example, to be punctual classes, especially safety! Safety matters should be emphasized again and again. Each teacher has his or her own style and characteristics of teaching, and may have some special requirements, as long as it is for the good of the child can also be proposed to the parents. (For example, some teachers emphasize that no air-conditioning is turned on in summer classes because when children sweat, the pores open up and air-conditioning wind pours in, making it easy for children to grow up with arthritis and rheumatism over the years, etc., so explain this in detail to the parents, and they will cooperate.) The advantage of the appropriate request is that you are dominant, will not be led by the nose by the parents. Third goal: To instill inspirational ideas in parents & kids. Prevent them from not paying enough attention to your class and being late more often than not. For example: I often say to parents, children to learn dance must be three aspects *** with cooperation. First, our dance teachers must have the sense of responsibility and motivation. Second, the children should have a good learning atmosphere and a little sense of competition. Third, the parents' active cooperation, at least to be able to come to class on time. All three aspects of the program are essential to the success of the program. Anyway, to make parents pay attention to your dance class, you can think of some theories that can catch the parents' heart, with stories or already taught a very good class image to tell them will be better. The fourth goal: the child to change the dance clothes and pants and shoes, and give the children to line up for the class. Okay let's summarize the goals and significance of the first class together: 1. Students, parents and teachers should have an initial understanding. (Parents should remember your cell phone, children and parents should know that you are called XX teacher) 2. Detailed explanation of the school rules and and some of your special requirements for parents and students. 3. You have to instill some inspirational ideas to parents and children, speak in a firm tone, to make parents convinced of what you say. 4. Children change clothes, line up in formation. 5. Specific step one. Require small children and parents to sit in a circle, you sit in the middle of the circle. The cell phone number as well as your phone contact information to the parents, to introduce themselves can be a variety of, or even jump a paragraph, anyway, to let the parents in the first class to remember you. Second, the children introduce themselves, be sure to give them a prescribed content (name, how old, like what and small children to communicate as much as possible oral). This stage there will be a lot of problems, especially in the early childhood stage of the enlightenment class, they will appear stage fright and even the phenomenon of crying, which requires you to have the ability to reflect agile, how to give small children a step, you can extradite the past with light and humorous language. (This baby may be a little shy, that's okay I believe that after she learns dance will become brave and confident, then today, please ask her mother to introduce her ~ ~ ~ ~ we applaud welcome) Anyway, do not be cold, be sure to reflect fast enough, your words and actions of parents are observing. Third, you can print out your school's rules and regulations to give parents a copy, give them five minutes to read, and then you focus on explaining the important few, especially some of the safety matters in the process to highlight. Fourth, the introduction of children's dance, you can even introduce the difference between children's dance and Latin dance, this introduction I do not talk about, you are professional dance teachers, this aspect you have their own understanding of this link is mainly for parents to inculcate some of your ideas. For example, the three aspects to cooperate with each other, small children from a young age to have the concept of time, etc., is to make parents feel that you are sincerely for the sake of the child, the child to you, parents rest assured. Fifth, to the child to send clothing, this time the child will be very excited, after changing clothes you must praise the child (wow!). Babies you are too beautiful, simply like the princess of the Barabara Little Magic Fairy ah ~ ~ ~), you can even take pictures of them, be sure to capture their hearts, so that you and the child's heart for the shortest period of time to reduce the sense of distance and strangeness, so that they like you. Seven, play games. Children in the first class I will not give them directly on the practice of dance, I must earn their smile in the first class, let them like me, let them look forward to my class. Don't make your child feel tired and bored in the first class. Finding Home Game - Spread the children out in all directions, then you can design a situation where you can say that the white rabbit is going to hop home, the puppy is going to crawl home, and so on, so that they can find the position that you have arranged for them in various positions. This game should be repeated at least a dozen times or even dozens of times, children will slowly know their own position. Need your patience and encouragement and constantly change the pattern. Body Recognition Game - Let children recognize body parts, like eyes, ears, fingers, neck, neck, shoulders, chest, waist, tummy, buttocks, thighs, calves, feet and so on. Then you say what, so that small children quickly be able to find compatible places, especially when said buttocks, the children will again laugh haha scream, you see you earned another smile, you not only make them happy, but also subconsciously teach the first class they should learn the skills. Conclusion: the first class to do parents to your high degree of recognition, to let the child feel that you are very humorous and passionate LIKE you, please make sure that you do not boring on the beginning of teaching your dance class, we first open the child's heart, once open and draw closer to the distance between you, hmmm ~ that after the class decided to be the most listen to your words of the little soldier. We are the engineers of the children's soul beautification, we teach the children is not just a few movements or test a few levels, we have to start from the child's heart, from the heart to beautify the outer temperament, I often give the children said: "dancing girls are very beautiful, dancing girls are very brave, dancing girls are very strong, dancing girls are very self-confident. " They are also all growing slowly in the direction I guide them. Dance teacher is the most sacred and the most beautiful educational work, we can witness the children through our hard work, each become brave, confident, beautiful and strong, tired is very tired, do not think we are very happy?
