The Journey of Learning to Teach Dance
Learning to teach dance requires a different skill set than simply dancing. The experience of attending a dance workshop allows one to appreciate the nuances of dance and improve their ability to lead or follow. Exposure to diverse dancing styles and techniques helps dancers adjust their approach based on their partners' abilities. This process, however, can be hindered when feedback comes from fellow participants instead of instructors, complicating the learning experience and creating confusion.
