It’s been a busy summer! 😅

And I have loved meeting lots of new dancers, who are making time to revisit their childhood passions, try something new or just focus on themselves for a change.

Adult ballet in particular is BOOMING and online lessons to top up your practise are most definitely a viable option 🙌

Has the penny dropped? 💡

Thankyou to all my online dancers for joining me over the summer - I’m now enjoying a week off, before the new term starts!

As part of my required CPD as a Royal Academy of Dance Registered Teacher I have just completed an Open University OpenLearn course ‘Supporting Adult Learners’ Positive Mental Health’.

Very thought provoking and interesting - a time to reflect on my approach to working with adults, both in the studio and online.

‘This course supported demonstration of the following learning outcomes:

recognise barriers to learning which can occur as a result of adult learners’ poor mental health;

identify stigmatised behaviours and common misconceptions about adult learners’ mental health and develop skills which equip educators to reduce stigma in educational practice;

recognise the signs of adult learners’ poor mental health and apply appropriate methods to engage in discussions about their mental health, including signposting to relevant support;

encourage adult learners to use appropriate coping strategies which support positive wellbeing and mental health;

create self-care strategies and skills which support personal positive wellbeing.’ - source - OpenLearn

Helping an adult ballet dancer with her posture in pirouette position, during an online one-to-one ballet class.

Imagery helps!

Think of keeping your car seat in the upright position, to keep the back long

Think of your shoulder line being like a straight coat hanger (not a rounded one!) to keep the edges of the shoulders open

Take a look at the video, to see what I mean! 🙌
