👟 Dance FUNdations 🩰 - Grades 1+

How do you keep consistency in your dance program?  One day a teacher mentioned to a studio owner... "each year I get new students who move up to the competition classes, but each year students have different skills even though they all have taken jazz (with a different teacher). Is there something we can do so that the students will have similar skills?"

The Dance FUNdations program was born. A way to keep consistency through the classes through all different dance styles.

Plus it provides retention in the recreational and comp programs as the parents love to see progressions with the skills cards and the students love to display their buttons on their dance bags.

The curriculum is simple to implement:

1 - share explanation videos and skills cards with your staff
2 - set up a goal that all 20 dance moves will be taught and memorized within a specific time
3 - let parents know about what you are working on and share practice videos
4 - set up your dance assessment (ask about how to do so with certified FUNdations teachers from your own school!)
5 - give the students the awards on the spot - completed skills card and completion button

*Includes marketting for your classes

Do you remember the old swimming badges? This creates the same kind of interest with your students. One student decided to join more classes to collect all the buttons.
