Beyond the Barre: Classroom Management Strategies

Have you ever wondered how Jessica keeps her classroom engaged, on track, and successful?

She's sharing all her secrets in this Beyond the Barre: Classroom Management Course!

This is a comprehensive course designed to equip dance educators with effective strategies for managing preschool dance classes. Teaching young dancers goes beyond teaching dance steps—it requires a structured and engaging environment that fosters focus, foundational routines, and the free flow of creativity and engagement - all while keeping students safe. In this course, teachers will learn essential techniques to establish a well-managed classroom from start to finish.

We’ll cover every aspect of a successful preschool dance class, starting with setting up a welcoming and organized space. You’ll learn how to create consistent entering and exiting routines that help young dancers transition calmly in and out of class. We’ll explore the power of well-timed transitions to limit chaos and confusion and learn strategies that keep children engaged to promote a safe and structured environment.

We explore all parts of a Dance Class Routine, from entering the classroom, warming up, center barre exercises, transitions, across-the-floor setup, and even routines to create and break down obstacle courses efficiently.

Teachers will learn to structure these activities to ensure safety and maximize engagement. With practical demonstrations and interactive components, this course provides hands-on strategies that will transform the dance studio into a well-orchestrated space for learning and fun. By the end, you’ll have a toolkit of management techniques that promote a positive, productive, and playful environment for your youngest dancers. Join Jessica Beyond the Barre to create a classroom experience that supports both students and teachers!
