Comments from the open house.

At my open house I had these little feedback forms.

I heard about this class from _________, I'd like the focus to be on _______, I want the music to be _______

with little boxes to tick as applied.

At the bottom I left a spot for "Anything else?"

I got a few comments - Awesome, I think it's great, It was fun.  I think you're an excellent teacher and dancer.

So of course I'd like to use these comments on my website...

but ONE of my students - and yes I know which one.  has a bit of a mean streak.  Just like me.

She suggested that I give a homework assignment.

"In the advanced class- each individual should have to make up their own dance and perform it at the end of the session."

hahahahahahahaha.  Okay.  that sounds awesome.  But this isn't really an advanced class - this is just my beyond the basics class.  Some of these students have only been dancing for 6 weeks - I can't wait to announce it during class next week. LOL!

Yeah, that'd be too hard for the 6 weeks people. If this one students wants a little push, maybe you can throw together a voluntary student show or something?

actually I think I've come up with a compromise.

performance is entirely voluntary- but if you perform you get... $5/10 off the next session.

Do you go over choreography? Maybe have a choreography workshop at the end of each session.

I'm doing easy choreography with them at the "beyond" level.

half the class is combos etc. half is the current choreo.

I've taught one - that my teacher created - with her permission
and I'm about to start one - that is all mine. *gulp*
