substitute teacher review

It is always interesting to change dance teachers, although change is not always comfortable it opens our eyes to new techniques a fresh way of looking at exercises.  A change of pace is also good for our bodies.  Our substitute teacher for dance class this week provided an opportunity to work on all these things.  Her way of explaining exercises was different than our usual class and I did learn a couple new things about myself and techniques to improve my work.  The slower movements also allowed us to work on our strength and feel the steps, working on elongation and technique, slowing the pace is essential to do sometimes.  Questions were welcome and the steps were coherent and clearly explained.  The class would be a perfect starting point at the beginning of the semester especially for students whose strengths do not necessarily lie in ballet to introduce them to what to do and not do, and then build on what we did throughout the semester.  Adding steps to the exercises and making them harder. I personally enjoyed the class, they were steps I like doing.  Hence, overall it was a good class, the teacher was delightful, and the movements were coherent and enlightening.  It is a class I would definitely take again.
