Sorry y’all we’re in the office EVERY day leading up to the first day of dance 😅
But we’ve made it! Night 1 of classes is tonight in the studio 🤌🏻
I got all our progress tracking sheets printed & prepped for our classes. These align with our class curriculum, which outlines everything a dancer will learn & skills they’ll develop over the years at our highland studio!
As they learn, we colour in the bubble sheets 🖍️
Curriculum is something that’s so common in other styles of dance… simply google dance curriculum and you’ve got oodles of options
But as usuallllll - nada for highland dance
SO a few years ago, I got to work. I mapped out everything a dancer could learn from ages as young as 1, all the way up to their adult years in highland dance
Highland is so great because structure is already built in. We’ve got textbooks to learn from, movements to master, set steps to learn, specified dances to put together 📖
And by the time someone is in their adult years of dance, I wanted them to know it ALL.
So now, we have class levels that span age 1 to ages 18+ with guaranteed learning and progress built in to each lesson
With this, each dancer gets👇🏻
✅ a well rounded dance education
✅ progression through levels that have nothing to do with competitive results
✅ a strong technical foundation with classes designed for learning, but also the repetition so much of highland technique requires
✅ a literal report card from their dance teachers every year with what skills they learned & what they have left for the level they’re in!
I get DMs ALL the time asking about lesson plans for all the different ages, and this curriculum is our solution. We simply look at the end goals for the class levels, which are then broken down monthly, and we build the weekly lesson plans from there
If you’re a highland dance teacher who’s like I NEED THIS… I’m thinking about making this shareable!
Comment or DM me WAITLIST if this is something you’d be in to!
