Just a little update about myself.
I've just recently started teaching a few group classes at parks and recreation departments in my area. So far its going well. The people are all enjoying themselves. One thing I have realized is how difficult it is to manage time during class. The problem is the large difference in skill levels of the students. Some require a lot of time and attention, while others require less. As a teacher, I would like to give everyone equal time, but that isn't always possible like I said, everyone has different needs.
I found a good way to make time for everyone. You have what I would like to call 'practice time' during class, and during this time, you make everyone practice a specific figure individually, and then you walk around fixing issues and giving out encouragement.
It's been interesting, and I hope I can continue teaching far into the future!
