Dance Teacher Thoughts

I have some thoughts...

Not all heroes wear capes. #coronapocalypse

[AnonymousDanceTeacher @AnonymousDance4]

Wear your fucking masks so we never have to do Zoom classes again.

[Coach Quotes @CoachMotto]

The ego is the source of the majority of a team's problems.

[Dance Teacher Thoughts @MillennialDnceT]

@thebustedtoe I’m having the same problem with my seniors, it’s heartbreaking 😞

[Dance Teacher Thoughts @MillennialDnceT]

Just “watched” one of my soloists compete in a virtual dance competition. Never in my life would I have imagined this. Wtf is this year.

[Dance Teacher Thoughts @MillennialDnceT]

Exactly 😞

DRAFT Tweet 5 - What makes a good teacher? Simple! 4 things: Pedagogical Knowledge (knowing how to teach) + Content knowledge (knowing what to teach) + Pedagogical Content Knowledge (knowing how to teach the specific content) + a passion for teaching it!

[The Busted Toe @thebustedtoe]

Having a really hard time tonight thinking about everything...I really just miss my dancers 😓

[Dancemom Truths @dancemomtruth]

@Judgydancemom Spoken word!

[plieforthearts @plieforthearts]

The most resilient indeed. It’s only intermission. We got this!! #dancers #resilient #dreamchasers

[Inspire 2 Dance @Inspire2Dance]

I’m seriously hoping I won’t be judging group contemporary pieces next year in face masks 😷! I beg all the comp choreographers out there to leave the covid-19 theme alone! #dancecompseason

@dancestudi0prob @liana5678 God bless you. My studio director and her sister are continuing classes and charging extra rates for only themselves while the rest of the staff sits here uninformed, unpaid, and uninvited like wtf.

[AnonymousDanceTeacher @AnonymousDance4]

I miss my kids so much. 😭

[Dance Teacher Thoughts @MillennialDnceT]

I had a parent send me a message today letting me know they plan on honoring their solo/duet payments to me through all this because I’ve taken care of their daughter all these year and now they would take care of me. I started crying uncontrollably as I read it. Someone cares.❤️

[Dance Teacher Thoughts @MillennialDnceT]

I have a Senior Dance Mom literally crying all over Facebook about how this whole thing “isn’t fair” to seniors’ special year and we should all be kind to them, give them air, hug them, pray for them...

YOU ARE THE PROBLEM LADY, SIT DOWN.

[Robin Bleasdale @dancedirector]

I don't mind staying home on a Friday night, I actually practise socially distancing myself regularly... but please don't take away my competition weekends, that is all I have! #studioownerproblems

[dancestudioownerprobzz⏱ @dancestudi0prob]

THIS SHIT IS CRAZY

[Dance Teacher Thoughts @MillennialDnceT]

Me: *discussing random Astrology with a student*

My Director: Oh yeah I know all about that my mom and my boyfriend just had his birthday they are Leos too they’re nothing like you it’s crazy!

Me: *turns to camera* Her boyfriend was in fact NOT a Leo...

[dancestudioownerprobzz⏱ @dancestudi0prob]

NBA: Cancels
Colleges: Closed
Travel to Europe: Banned
Dance comps: Limit spectators, skip the costumes, don’t spend time in the dressing rooms...

Dance teachers: you better get your butt to class tonight!! If competition is cancelled, that’s just extra time for rehearsal!!

[Dance Teacher Thoughts @MillennialDnceT]

SHE PAID!!!

[Dance Teacher Thoughts @MillennialDnceT]

Started this Twitter because I finally confronted a mom yesterday about not having paid me since December for privates. She sobbed and said she’s behind and things are tough...

Then I found out she bought the seniors all custom printed tote bags.

Fun times

[Dance Teacher Thoughts @MillennialDnceT]

Update: I wrote to the parent a 2nd time this morning about the payments and you’ll never guess what her response was: she blamed the kid. Yes you read that correctly. She blamed her child for not making the payment on time. You seriously cannot make this stuff up.
