Dance Teacher Web is proud to present a series of how to teaching videos with American Ballet Principal Devon Teuscher. Each month a new video will be presented!. This class will give teachers the tools to teach ballet variations to different levels of dancers. It will cover how to choose the right variations for the appropriate age and ability levels. It will provide sample variations for various levels. It will also teach how to make modifications on variations for different levels and ages.
Regardless of level, every classical class starts with a plie in first position and this workshop looks at the importance of base technique in its purest form. Let's not get caught up in choreography but instead remember the essence of classical ballet and the importance of inclusion of those basic exercises that train, shape and define our dancers. Don't just teach - inspire.

Preparing for an unset ballet class can be a LOT of work depending on the level of ballet. Teaching an unset class that challenges your dancers’ musicality and understanding of music and rhythm is not for the musically uncertain! This short but intense 1 hour presentation is going to dive into using the ‘and’, or NOT using it, in different music types throughout a ballet class. This is a HUGE topic since many music types, both duple and triple meter, have an anacrusis! We’re going to go through a typical class and discuss the impact of using this fantastic rhythm feature! (I’ll be there with keys so we can make sure you have the chance to hear it!) We might even create some exercises and practice using it (time dependent)!

Blake & Kim will share the importance of detailed teaching in your classrooms. Blake Stanley is known for his very specific training that teaches dancer’s from a young age the importance of details in all aspects from the technical foundation of dance and one's facility, to achieving different levels of success in the competition / convention circuit and the life skills needed after high school and beyond.
Enjoyable interactions among teachers set the tone for a class focused on pointe work in ballet. Readiness is determined by age and physical assessments, with health checks required. The training begins with foundational techniques, emphasizing relevé and plié. Pre-pointe exercises ensure proper alignment, while the transition to center work builds complexity. The structured approach prepares students for advanced techniques through dedicated classes.
Stop the confusion (at least for you!) of how to count the music. Musician’s beats are exactly what they need to play the music and dancer counts are exactly what you need to organize your exercises and choreography. It’s the same music but somehow we count it differently! Learn, see, clap and count the differences (for the last time!) for the 4/4, 3/4, 2/4 and the 6/8!
