Dealing with dance moms

In this seminar, DTW Co-Founder Angela D’Valda Sirico discusses how studio owners can put up with difficult “dance moms”. As a studio owner, you have to deal with dance moms because they pay the bills, so you need to keep them happy. But Angela shares the best ways to cope with demanding parents, including keeping them as uninvolved as possible and teaching them boundaries. She says that you, as the studio owner, are the captain of the ship, and you make the rules. She also gives tips on how to train your faculty and staff – make sure they understand what you’re expecting of them, give them the tools they need to be successful, prepare them for how to deal with parents, and even set up a reward system for them. 

With over 30 years of experience as a dance teacher, choreographer and producer, Angela is full of wonderful insight like this, and DTW is where you can find valuable resources, advice and inspiration for bettering yourself as a dance educator or studio owner. 

Advanced extended leg pirouette sequence

If you find yourself using the same combinations in your class or choreography, DTW offers teaching tools and sample exercises to keep you inspired year after year. In this video session, DTW Co-Founder Steve Sirico goes step-by-step through an advanced extended leg pirouette sequence. The sequence is just a base; you can use part of the exercise or all of it, and insert it as you need to for your combinations and routines. A demonstrator, Jenna, performs the sequence, and Steve then breaks it down and offers tips he would share with his students – muscles to focus on, where to put energy, transitions between movements and arm positions. 

An experienced teacher and choreographer for over three decades, Steve comes to all DTW Live events full of knowledge and sample exercises like this to pass on to other dance educators. He and DTW offer extra inspiration and spark that you can, in turn, bring to your classes. 

These are just but a sneak peek into what you can learn at DTW Conference and Expo this summer.
