For all ballet teachers?

Question

Do you like being a ballet teacher? What do you like most? Least?

I'm thinking of being a preschool teacher but I'd also be interested in teaching ballet part-time at my studio. Could you tell me a little about what its like to be a teacher and if it would be something that I might enjoy.

Answer 1

My mom works at a studio and she loves teaching ballet!!!

Answer 2

oh my gosh its sooo fun im not a professional teacher im a teacher assitant its like the same thing only i don't get paid

its super fun but if you're teaching little kids to dance ballet don't expect a lot and you have to be very patient with them and speak their language!

if your teaching older kids ballet then you have to connect and communicate with them!

and one thing to always to remember is to not focus all your attention to one person because it will make the other dancers feel like their not as good which doesn't help their confidence at all!!!

teaching ballet is very rewarding and so much fun i wouldn't want to be doing anything else with my life!

if you like dancing and teaching and kids then you'll have a blast!!!

Answer 3

i've only taught little kids and it wasnt just ballet but i do not always enjoy it, everything is good when the girls are behaving but its bad when they are wound up over who knows what, it's really not that bad but the job is made for someone with tons and tons of patience and a love of kids
