Goal setting for dancers
Give yourself a goal for Christmas
What would your dancers love to achieve by Christmas?
Finally get their ‘bad leg’ splits? Improve their flexibility? Achieve a clean double or triple pirouette? Hold their leg extension a little higher?
Every dancer has a skill they’ve been dreaming of achieving. But knowing what you want to achieve is only the beginning. The real challenge is working out how to get there! That is where goal setting for dancers comes in! Teach your dancers to give themselves a goal for Christmas and teach them a skill they will keep with them throughout their dance journey.
Give Yourself a Goal for Christmas is a fun, festive goal-setting for dancers programme designed to help dancers turn their Christmas dance wishes into achievable goals and develop a practical system for working towards them.
Through a series of engaging Christmas-themed activities, dancers learn how to set SMART goals, break them into smaller steps, overcome obstacles, establish regular practice habits and track their progress.
It’s a lovely way to bring some extra purpose and excitement into your end-of-year classes while helping dancers develop skills they can use throughout their dance journey.
