Mindful Dance Journal

Reflections, research, and classroom wisdom for dance teachers who lead with care.

Holding Rhythm in the Wind

The story behind the tools I wish I had as a dance teacher.

There’s a moment every dance teacher knows.
Not the final bow or the clean triple turn.
But the quiet pause after class —
when the room is still, the music has stopped, and you ask yourself:
“Did I really reach them today?”

Teaching with the 4 Elements

A Dance Teacher’s Reflection

What if teaching dance could feel more like working with nature? This reflection invites you to explore the four classical elements—Earth, Air, Fire, and Water—as metaphors for how you lead, plan, and respond in your classroom.
