Also make sure...

Make sure to come prepared and ready to teach.

• Have a specific warm up ready as well as certain exercises.
• Have an idea of what music will be used for each exercise, making sure it is the correct tempo and appropriate for the age group that you are teaching.
• Have a combination already choreographed and run it enough so that every count is known and it can be taught easily.
• Don't get flustered. This is your class, don't let students get to you.
• Have enthusiasm, let the students know that this is something you want to do. If not, pretend.
• Have fun and let the students have fun while they are learning.
