HAVE YOU HAD THIS EXPERIENCE?

Creating an Age Appropriate Dance Showcase

It’s time to start choreographing your Winter Showcase routine. You open your notebook, press play on your favorite playlist, and… pause.

Is this song the right fit? Will your little ones stay engaged through the whole dance? Can they handle the steps you’re imagining or will it be too difficult? You start second-guessing yourself, rewriting combinations, and wondering if your choreography truly matches your dancers’ developmental stage.

You jot down a few formations, but when you try them in class, they feel chaotic. Your dancers bump into each other or forget where to stand.

Then come the costumes. You want something simple and age-appropriate, but you also want your students to feel special. Should you chose costumes at all? Let dancers wear what they wear to class? Or perhaps give them a special prop?

Week after week, the excitement of showcase season begins to shift. Dancers lose focus during choreography. You repeat the same section over and over. The dance still doesn’t feel “ready,” and you start to wonder if it ever will.

Hi! I'm Jessica

Hi! I'm Jessica, a retired professional ballet dancer turned passionate dance educator!

Like many new teachers, I quickly learned that being a great dancer doesn’t mean being a great teacher. I struggled in the classroom, feeling overwhelmed and unsure. But everything changed when I shifted my focus to what truly matters—my students.

Through years of research and experience, I discovered how children dance, learn, grow, and develop. Now, I’m here to help YOU gain the confidence, structure, and tools to create an engaging, effective dance classroom.

💡 That's why I started the Dance Teacher Challenges!
