Preparing for Your Online Dance Classes As lockdown remains, we are still continuing our online
dance classes. Although we are not in the studio, we are still making the most
of our dance lessons.
At The
Oundle School of Ballet , we want our students to get the very best out of
our online classes. This month’s blog is offering advice on how to prepare for
them. For more information, call us on 01832 272981 .
Plenty Of Space Before your class begins, make sure you have plenty of
space. You will require a large area for dancing, so you want to be clear from
any obstructions. If possible, we recommend that you move some of your
furniture to achieve this. That way, you are safe from any risk of injury or
damage.
Make sure your space is well-lit and your camera is angled
so your teacher can see you properly. If the room is too dull or the camera is
poorly positioned, they cannot help you improve your performance.
Wear Your Uniform Wearing your dance class uniform will help you feel like
you’re in the studio. Furthermore, it is specifically designed for dancing so
your movement isn’t restricted.
If you have long hair, we recommend putting it in a bun. This
is especially helpful if it’s a ballet class. You don’t want your hair flicking
into your face when spotting on turns.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Questions Like you would if you were in the studio, please ask
questions. If you’re not sure about something or need some help, your teacher
is still available for advice.
Asking questions shows your teacher that you’re engaged in
the class. Also, it gives them the opportunity to help you improve and further
your learning.
Don’t forget that you can also use the chat feature but
please refrain from using it to talk to your friends. You can do that in your
own time.
Be On Time Please remember to be punctual. If you are late, you are
causing disruption to the class. Furthermore, you may miss important
information in the introduction.
Punctuality is basic dance class etiquette, so please remember
to be respectful to your peers and instructor.
Stay Hydrated Make sure you always stay hydrated. Dancing is very
physically active so it is important you keep on top of your water intake. Keep
a glass of water close by, just in case you get thirsty.
Also, make sure you have gone to the toilet before the class
starts. This prevents any disruption to your learning.
