Let’s be real: If teaching dance and dance fitness were just about knowing the moves, we’d all be cruising through life like it’s no big deal. But you and I both know — it’s not. It's about engagement, energy, cueing, and not burning the hell out in the process.

If you’re sitting there nodding your head thinking, “Yep, that’s me,” then friend, you’re gonna want to hear this one.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real struggles that are holding dance and fitness instructors back. (Spoiler: It’s not what you think.)I’m talking about two groups: bellydance/dance instructors and dance fitness instructors — and trust me, both camps are dealing with some serious behind-the-scenes struggles like:🔥 Feeling like a circus clown trying to entertain every damn second🔥 Overexplaining instead of keeping people moving🔥 Losing people because your music doesn’t match your moves (or matches too much)🔥 Teaching your heart out but watching your class numbers stay flat🔥 Prepping for hours and getting paid pennies for it🔥 Blank-out panic moments mid-class (we’ve all been there)🔥 And... good ol’ fashioned burnout (like, seriously ready to quit)

But here’s the thing: It doesn’t have to be that way.

In this episode, I’m also giving you the fix — the real, practical system that actually makes teaching easier, smoother, and way more fun.We’re talking about:✅ Ditching song structure and teaching to the beat (hello, 32-count magic)✅ Simple, verbal cueing that actually keeps students moving (no more stop-and-go madness)✅ Class structures that work and are repeatable✅ Retention and marketing strategies so you’re not just teaching — you’re building✅ And a community that’s got your back when you feel like you’re losing your damn mind.

We’re tackling the big question: Is it time to hire a coach? I’ve been there—wondering if I could just figure it out myself. But trust me, hiring the right coach isn’t just helpful; it’s a game changer. I’m breaking down three scenarios where investing in a coach can accelerate your growth:

* The Cost of Inaction: I spent a year “figuring it out” and got nowhere. Time is money—waiting only delays your success.

* The Freebie Spiral: If you’re hopping from one freebie to the next without a clear plan, a coach helps you focus and execute.

* Learning a New Skill Fast: Stuck on something specific, like ads or marketing? A coach can save you months of trial and error.

If any of these resonate with you, it might be time to stop stalling and start moving. Ready to level up? Tune in to find out how the right coach can transform your business!

Action Steps:

* Identify your scenario—cost of inaction, stagnation, or a new skill?

* Stop DIY-ing—consider investing in a coach.
