| Leaps & Bounds: How TAGteach Helps Your Dancers Go Further, Faster! |
| Tired of begging your dancers to point their feet? Using science based TAGteach principles, take the frustration out of the dance environment - for your students and for yourself! Learn how to create an interactive learning environment where dancers of all ages and in all disciplines are motivated and work hard to meet the criteria you set. Build strong technical skills that dancers will recall and repeat again and again. Learn how to seamlessly implement these methods into your existing lesson plans. Learn how to achieve remarkable results - positively! TAGteach is a science based positive reinforcement methodology that utilizes a proven, remarkably effective marker system. This session explores how the system benefits the dance environment and how teachers can incorporate the methodology into their own programs. TAGteach aligns and supports all standard dance syllabi and is highly effective in providing a 'user-friendly' process for dissecting the syllabus information into digestible pieces that students absorb, understand, and perform successfully. Video examples and hands-on demonstrations are utilized. |
