Presentation Transcript

  1. NURTURING PROFESSIONALISM IN YOUNG DANCERS Professionalism, respect, kindness, humility, courtesy, how we discuss and share ideas, disagree, collaborate and learn from one another are still important and relevant traits of a true professional. Where talent, technical ability and skill set is abundant and plentiful all around the dance industry, another lesson we want to impart upon our students, (and what sets them apart from others) is how we represent ourselves offstage as well.  Not just as a performer, but as a human being.

  2. There are always lessons embedded within the lessons we teach in the dance studio. Especially, as we try to nurture the whole child and teach them things they will take with them no matter what profession they wind up in. Things like: Are we eager to listen and learn? Are we able to recognize corrections and feedback as a gift? Do we speak to others with respect, even when we disagree artistically or otherwise? Can we dialogue and communicate articulately and effectively without ego or condescension? Can we get our points across passionately with open mindedness? Can we take a moment to learn something from that class or teacher who just wasn’t your favorite? Are we humble and gracious? Do we use our words wisely and present an attitude of acceptance, inclusiveness and understanding?

  3. Does our body language demonstrate our presence and interest in what’s going on around us? Do we try to lift our peers up instead of chopping them down?  Are we timely and respectful of other people's time? Are we an example of positivity and a great attitude? How do we represent ourselves and our studio on social media? Are we focused, yet helpful to others? Are we able to accept change and go with the flow? Are we a team player? Are we open to new ideas and have a zest for learning all sorts of new things? Are we easy going and a pleasure to work with? Do we compliment, support and root for others? These are just some of the elements which make for a professional dancer, yes, but more so a person someone else remembers beyond that.

  4. Even from the youngest of dancers, a simple “thank you,” to the teacher at the end of class starts to build a foundation of well… just good manners. We all live in this beautiful, unique, otherworldly, special, sometimes uncertain and stressful world of dance. This world may seem vast, but it’s much smaller than you think. Teach your dancers this important bit of information. Help them thrive in all capacities. Guide them wisely and lovingly so that whoever comes across their path in life remembers them and your studio as one of love, support, professionalism and kindness. Hopefully it will then expand 10-fold out in to their worlds- well beyond dance.
