The Dance to Learn Podcast is the place for dance educators and studio owners to get the best dance teacher resources, tips and advice to help you dance, learn and grow right along with your students.

In today's Podcast episode, I will be discussing Separation Anxiety, What it is, what it isn't, some of the symptoms and how our brain develops to help children regulate separation anxiety.

In today's podcast, I am addressing your toughest Dance Teacher Challenges!
Today I am talking about a topic that has been the  most requested by you and in fact, this topic has received the highest interaction of any other post that I've ever shared on my Instagram and Social Media accounts: and that is Separation Anxiety.
As Dance Teachers and studio owners Separation Anxiety is most common in our youngest dancers, but can trickle into the older age brackets as well. It's important as Dance Teachers that we can identify the signs of separation anxiety so we can work on building the trust and rapport between dancers and parents needed for them to feel comfortable and safe in your studio.

If you have a dance teacher challenge you would like me to address on an upcoming episode, please send me an email to [email protected] so with the subject line: Dance Teacher Challenges Help!

Today's episode focuses Helping Dancers and Parents with Separation Anxiety

In today's episode of the Dance to Learn® Podcast I am discussing student engagement, the reasons students may lack engagement during your class and how you can address the issue!
Today's podcast episode is a REPLAY from Season 3 Episode 8! Addressing your Preschool Dance Teacher Challenges! I've broken down the episode into 4 parts and will be rebroadcasting it in a 4 part mini-series over the next few episodes, since the original episode was nearly an hour! I want this to be a nice bite-sized audio clip for you to enjoy and hopefully help you if you are experiencing these challenges yourself!

If you have a dance teacher challenge you would like me to address on an upcoming episode, please send me an email to [email protected] so with the subject line: Dance Teacher Challenges Help!

Today's episode focuses on balancing having FUN with teaching technique.
