Good manners are very significant in a dance class. There are certain things that a child must identify with when attending one of these classes. Once they understand the rules of etiquette and being kind to each other your child will be able to learn much better.
Some simple etiquette:
Respect the teacher: it is not easy for a teacher to instruct a number of small children in dance discipline. You should encourage your child to treat the teacher with respect and not to say unkind things after the class. This creates a very bad impression and can lead to other students disliking your child. You should monitor the lessons by observing the classes to see if the teacher is really doing a good job.
Do not leave the class: unless your child has a prearranged appointment or emergency they should be instructed not to leave the class before it ends. This is common courtesy to both the teacher and other students. If you child gets into the habit of skipping and cutting short their classes they will not be able to learn properly and will get a bad reputation. They should also not make it a habit to come to classes late, as this is not showing respect to the instructor or the class.
Always listen to what the instructor has to say. Many young children find it hard to listen for long periods of time and this affects other pastimes as well as dance. A good classroom environment will help them settle in, but sometimes young children can struggle with listening. Only practice will help them to listen. Parents can help with this by encouraging listening at home. It's a simple thing that could pay big results in school, as well as dance.
Don't get a big head. Some children can get carried away with their own success sometimes. There's nothing wrong with a little confidence, but too much can soon lead to a good dancer becoming unpopular. Again, this sort of thing will help with school as well as dance. It's a good idea to encourage your child to be humble and enjoy their successes quietly. This will help strong performers to assert themselves as leaders.
Discourage disruptive behaviour. This is something many people are never taught. A disruptive child can soon be pigeon holed as a difficult one. It is also difficult for a disruptive student to be concentrating on their dance, so their performances will no doubt suffer as a consequence.
Etiquette really is as simple as respecting others and their rite to get the most out of their dance classes. Learning etiquette is a big part of learning good team play and social skills. A dance group that communicates well and respects each other will be able to perform well and get the most out of their classes. - 15995
