The Importance of outlining expectations
If we are dance educators, we should be setting clear expectations for all our students in order to create a successful and enjoyable learning environment. Outlining expectations will help your students understand the rules, boundaries, and objectives of the class. This can foster structure, trust, and accountability, as well as prevent misunderstandings and power struggles.
