preschool dance

Preschool programs are fundamental and they are the foundation of a successful studio! In this episode, Loren Dermody shares her years of experience, top tips, and resources that will help you not only build, but quickly scale a credible program!

Loren Dermody envisions living in a world where everyone dances, loves, laughs, lives their passion, and listens to Prince every single day!

Throughout her competitive career she competed nationally and internationally in dance and baton twirling as an individual and in groups. Hard work and dedication brought her and her teammates incredible success including a Gold Medal at the World Baton Twirling Championships in Padova, Italy and recognition as inductees into the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame.

Over the last 30 years, when she's not choreographing award-winning routines for hundreds of dancers and athletes in dance, baton and acrobatics, you can find her traveling the world, upgrading her certifications, attending professional development events, workshops, and conferences that keep her on top of the most recent developments and current trends in the industry.

In addition to holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Studies from the University of Calgary, Loren is a CBTF Certified Coach & Judge; WBTF Certified Judge; Certified Yoga & Meditation Teacher; ADAPT Jazz and Tap Certified Teacher; Certified RWID Instructor; Certified PBT Teacher; Alixa Flexibility Module 3 Certified Teacher; Acrobatic Arts Certified Teacher, Course Conductor, & Examiner; Level 1 Certified Trainer in the Genius of Flexibility Method; Level 2 NCCP Accredited Coach; Y.P.A.D Certified Teacher; member of IADMS; member of the Yoga Alliance; and a member of the Canadian Dance Teachers Association (Jazz & Acrobatics).

In today's Podcast Episode, I wanted to talk about one of the key takeaways from last week's podcast interview with Allison Mell from Tots and Target. Did you know that the CDC recently removed crawling as a developmental milestone? As a dance teacher, this is really concerning! Crawling provides so many benefits to young children, not just in the physical sense but also for their brain and sensory development! What can we do as dance teachers to help students who may have skipped the crawling phase, or performed a-typical crawling patterns without being corrected. Listen to today's episode for some ideas!

In today's Podcast Episode, I have the privilege  of interviewing Allison Mell with Tots on Target, a Physical Therapist who works side by side with Mary Deutsch, a Licensed Occupational Therapist to help parents understand how their children grow and develop. I recently completed their Babies on the Move course which was BRILLIANT (it's linked below) and I was captivated about the section on red flags and crawling. So it had me wondering, how can some of these "red flags" present themselves in the later years, the years of 3, 4 and 5 when dancers are ready to sign up for dance classes for the first time? In this episode we discuss Development, Crawling, Red-Flags, Balancing, W-Sitting and More! You don't want to miss it!

Hello Dance Teacher Friends! Happy Wednesday and welcome to another episode of the Dance to Learn® Podcast! I’m your host Jessica Strong and today I wanted to talk about limiting distractions inside the dance studio. I started my teaching career teaching in both a studio setting as well as inside schools such as private preschools and public elementary schools. Teaching in a school setting taught me a lot on how unnecessary some “essential” tools inside the dance studio are really not necessary at all for younger and beginning level dancers and can really be more of a distraction than a beneficial tool. Today I'm going to share my thoughts on how you can limit distractions created by the Dance Studio Mirrors and the Ballet Barres!

In today's podcast, I am addressing your toughest Dance Teacher Challenges!
Today I am talking about a topic that has been the  most requested by you and in fact, this topic has received the highest interaction of any other post that I've ever shared on my Instagram and Social Media accounts: and that is Separation Anxiety.
As Dance Teachers and studio owners Separation Anxiety is most common in our youngest dancers, but can trickle into the older age brackets as well. It's important as Dance Teachers that we can identify the signs of separation anxiety so we can work on building the trust and rapport between dancers and parents needed for them to feel comfortable and safe in your studio.

If you have a dance teacher challenge you would like me to address on an upcoming episode, please send me an email to info@dancetolearn.co so with the subject line: Dance Teacher Challenges Help!

Today's episode focuses Helping Dancers and Parents with Separation Anxiety
