I began learning dance at 3 years old. At age 4 I was pulled out of classes because all I would do was sit in the floor, chew on my shirt, and cry obsessively as I watched myself and everyone else in the mirror. At age 5, I had a friend [...]

Have you ever been bullied? Maybe you’ve been bullied by another student, an adult, a coach, or dance director? A group or team?
Could bullying be done by a principle or vice principle? How about a member of the church? A parent?
Kids bully because a need is not met somewhere. Or maybe someone has mistreated [...]

Do Your Communications With Parents Pass The Scan, Scroll, Stroll Test?
August 19, 2010 · Posted by Dance Advantage ·
“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” – George Bernard Shaw
It’s true…the more connected we are these days, the less it seems we actually are communicating. You have more options now than ever to send and receive messages: whether it’s through email, text, voice mail, social media posts, fax, memos, postal mail, phone calls, or in person. No wonder you’re overwhelmed!
This is a quick true story, perhaps you can relate. On the Saturday morning of our recital weekend, we received a voice mail from a mom of a young dancer at 7:45 am, ...

How Do You Define “Dolly Dinkle” Dance Instruction?
August 11, 2010 · Posted by Dance Advantage ·
Most of you have an idea about what it means to be a “Dolly Dinkle” (or Dolly Dingle) dance teacher or dance school.
