:)

So starting module 3 again I very lost and unfocused! However after meeting with Paula and a few other students in module 3 it helped me find my focus again.

So what am I looking to find out through my inquiry?

My question " What techniques do Dance Teachers use to get the best response from their class? "

By response I mean how do the teachers make the students progress well with technique , how to make the students feel confident about themselves, which is very important for a performer. Also just to make sure that the students are happy and enjoying the class!

I was doing my inquiry to help me become the best dance teacher I can be, however I don't know where exactly I want to teach yet, be it high school, vocational school or technique dance classes/clubs. I point I made in the session with Paula, is that I think if you combined all the different techniques the different types of dance teachers used I feel that would be the perfect dance class. 

I am interviewing one dance teacher from each of these different types of dance schools and hopefully I will see some similarities and some differences in their teaching methods.
After one of my interviews I actually got myself a job in a High School so I am looking forward to putting all that I learn during my inquiry into practice. 
If any of you are dance teachers and want to share anything with me it would be much appreciated :)
