Welcome to Dance Plan Depot! We are so glad you are here. This is a place that is all about helping dance teachers. We hope that the content here on our blog and on our site will up-level your creativity, and cut down on your preparation time.
I'm Whitney, and I have been a professional dance teacher. My specialty is teaching creative dance/contemporary dance/modern dance. I know how time consuming it can be as a teacher to prepare for class. I would spend as much time preparing as I was teaching! I also wanted the content I was teaching to be educational and informational, and that took additional time and preparation as well.
Each of our lesson plans have objectives for each day based on the elements of dance: body, motion, space, time, and energy. Each of our lesson plans are broken up into 6 sections: Warm-up, Center/Combo, Game, Across the Floor, Movement Exploration, and Coloring page/journal prompt. Each section should take about 10 minutes (although we have included a lot of great ideas in each plan...that may be able to stretch into additional classes.)
We have also created visual aids for each class. These might be vocabulary words, instructions to the movement exploration, physical items to cut out and use during class, etc. We know they will keep your class exciting, and be evidence of your great preparation for class.
Dance Teaching is so rewarding, but can also be very draining. Let us take some of that load off you, so you can go do what you love...DANCE!
