Crazy! Still boys are misbehaving.
still loosing focus easily and run and chatting. So, one of the company member took one of the boy out side of the studio to had a chat. The boy came crying and refuse to dance for awhile. Therefore, that tactics did not work well either.
However, over all, students calmed down compare to the day before. One of the reason why I think kids got calmer is because we all had chat with them few times about their behavior, so kids started to understand us. Or, kids were just very exited at the begging of Summer school, but they get started to use to it, maybe.
Another interesting experience. We have company class every morning, and some of the boys were watching the class. And, they told me how inspired and amazing they think I am as a dancer. So, I have asked them what they have learned by watching the morning class. Boys were very exited and they demonstrated the mimic version of my jumps and turns. And, surprisingly they were not too bad, considering they have never done or they don't even know the name of the steps! Of course the details need be polished but I was very happy and exited to see them trying all the steps.
So, again, this is a difficult part of teaching. We can take kids to dance studio, but we can not make them listen to the teachers if we are not attractive to them. But, if we can inspire students, pretty much more than half of our job is done. We don't need to teach them as they find interest in dance and they automatically start to explorer their limitless ability. we just need to guide them to the right direction, right direction which we believe right for them.
Keep inspire my self to inspire them.
