‘MOTIVATION’ by JANET KARIN OAM

by

As teachers, motivation is one of our most important concerns. We love dance, or we would not be teaching. How do we awaken a love of dance in our students? How do we sustain their commitment, and even increase their passion as they grow older? How can we compete with the many enticements and distractions facing young people today?

HOW IMPORTANT ARE YOUR FEET?

Not only are they the foundation of your body structure, they are essential to move you around – walking, running – dancing!!

And they’re so specialised, they’ll help you move on any surface.  But only if you look after them!
