This week my adults class started and what a pleasure it was to teach. There were 6 participants with the prospect of more next week. The oldest was a man in his 70's who had never dance before! He was fantastic! It made me reflect on how different each class feels. The 2 1/2 year olds are organized chaos, the kinder kids are sorting out friendships and consequently easily distracted, the prep, grade 1's and 2's are much more focussed (though 5 year old boys can be a challenge!), the grade 3's and 4's are very chatty with big personalities vieing for attention, grade 5's and 6's seem to struggle with energy and have a touch of "attitude"and the teens are full of life and energy that needs to be focussed into the movement they are doing. Now with the adults there is ATTENTION....how I love it....so much easier to teach and how beautifully they danced.
Do you have a similar experience? I would love to hear from you.
