![]() ![]() Where they are not always in their head but able to just experience it, and enjoy themselves, and enjoy the music.ģ. Where they don't always have to be "performing" or "doing" a technique. Also, within the class, give them a space where they can just dance or listen. You might point out the vocals or the lyrics, the lead guitar, or the bass. You might point out particular sounds, or instruments, or relationships between instruments. So that’s a really important part of the class.Īnother way to connect them is throughout the class point out different ways they might listen to or hear the music. That way they have a richer experience when they go out social dancing, or they go out into the world, because they have these relationships with diverse music. Just exposing your students is a real important part of even a dance workshop, is exposing people to diverse music, to different sounds. Maybe you are using newer stuff for the majority of the class, but you throw in some music from the 90's or from the 70's, or 80's. ![]() ![]() You also want to be able to select music that is diverse in terms of tempo, emotion, feeling, in terms of artists presented, and in terms of sound, the era. In addition, you really want to pick music that you are also passionate about, that you are excited to hear and excited to teach to, because that in turn will translate to your students, that excitement, that passion. Maybe they connect with one musician or a certain sound, or era of Bachata more than the others, so that’s one thing to consider, is my music appropriate for the class I am teaching. You want to choose appropriate music for the level of class in terms of tempo, also the age group you are teaching to. So, I would say spend more time selecting and thinking about the music you are going to use in your class, before the class actually starts. Something we can do to enhance our student’s connection with the music actually begins before the class even starts and that’s during the planning phase of the class. Spend More Time Planning the Music in Your Class ![]()
