Ballet Class Observation Area Tips

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Linda Brown on behalf of Expert Village. The next tip that we'd like to talk to you about is observation. It's important that you know what's going on with your child as they progress in dance. Some studios allow parents to come in and observe the children as they dance on a regular basis. This can be challenging from a teacher perspective, especially with the younger children. It's difficult for that teacher-student relationship to develop if a parent is in the room on a regular basis. A possible solution might be observation days. Some studios will allow parents even quarterly to come in and observe the children in dance class. A very good solution however, is to either have a observation window so that the parents can stand outside of this one way glass and they can see what's going on in the class, yet the students are not distracted, or better yet, a monitor. TV monitors that are setup in the waiting area so that parents can see what's going on in the classroom, yet the students are not disturbed."
