Description
If you are finding that your corrections are falling on deaf ears, if your teenagers have an attitude problem or if your dancers just aren’t making the progress you had hoped, the answer may lie in unlocking the correction code. Give your dancers the skills to use their corrections to supercharge their progress. Corrections are one of the most valuable tools dance teachers have but there can sometimes be a disconnect between what a teacher says and what a dancer hears. Corrections can be associated with all sorts of negative connotations and sometimes what is meant to help can be perceived as criticism. Dancers can become demotivated when they view corrections through the eye of a fixed mindset. When dancers approach their training with perfectionist mindset, correction can be perceived as a threat. Even something as simple as having a bad day at school can lead to a correction doom spiral. This pack features 13 pages of worksheets, designed to help dancers understand corrections, see corrections through a growth mindset filter and learn to utilise corrections to really impact their improvement. These worksheets can be utilised in a number of ways. You can set aside a little time over a number of weeks to work through them or have a specific workshop dedicated to corrections and other growth mindset themes. They are excellent for use on Zoom and really give students a chance to achieve something impactful during remote learning. Worksheets include
