Tips for Children's Ballet Instructors

Hi! This is Linda Brown on behalf of Expert Village. Now we're going to talk about teacher-parent interaction. Is the teacher parent friendly? You want to find out how that teacher interacts with the parents. Does she have a news letter that she sends out periodically with information regarding the class? Will she allow you to observe a class before making your decision about the appropriateness for you child? The teacher should be organized and good about keeping parents informed. However, you do not want that teacher to be using up valuable class time to interact with you or any other parent. You do want to get communication from that teacher regarding schedule and payments, or any other issues. Costumes, or whatever the case may be. Watch how she interacts with other parents. Does she use teaching time? Does the studio door close right at the class start time? It's preferable to have an administrative person available to handle the parent questions and payment transactions. However, in the absence of this type of position, the teacher should have a plan for communicating this information to the parents. Lastly, you want to make sure that there's a comfortable area for parents and younger siblings to wait during dance class if they so choose.
