How to ROCK your Parent Observation Week

October 13, 2017 by Prestige Dance Studio

With Parent Observation Week right around the corner here at Prestige Dance Studio (October 16th-22nd), we thought we would spend a little time talking about what you can do to ensure a successful week. I mean, not to put too much pressure on you parents out there but it really can influence what happens next in your dancer’s career. Don’t sweat it though! Prestige has your back. We want you to ROCK your Parent Observation Week, so here’s how:

Talk about it before you arrive at class: Don’t throw off your dancer! Kids like predictability and perform better when they know what is going to happen. Surprising your dancer at the studio can send them into a spiral of doom. Nerves and too much excitement aren’t usually processed very well by a young dancer. Instead, a couple days before class just start talking about it. Mention that you will be in the room and that you get to see all the hard work they have been doing.
Be positive: This goes from the moment you start talking about Parent Viewing Week until you (eventually) stop talking about it. Your dancer wants nothing more than for you to be proud of him/her. So get excited for them to show you what they know.
Listen and watch: During class, keep your ears open for any important information from the teacher (sometimes information about upcoming events are discussed) and really watch your dancer! This is their moment, don’t get distracted by your phone (unless it is to take that adorable picture of course!).
Have realistic expectations: If your dancer is not the “best” dancer in class, don’t be disappointed! Instead, focus on if they are having fun and if they are learning new skills. Those things are much more important.

That is all it takes to ROCK your week! We can’t wait to see you there!

Parent Observation Week: Monday, October 16th- Sunday, October 22nd.

Parents will be invited in for the last 10-15 minutes of class. Cell phones or tablets should be left in the lobby or put on silent. We encourage you to take photos of your dancer but ask that videos of class time not be shared on social media.

We sat down with Megan and asked her a few more questions about her background, dance memories, and teaching highlights. Interested in learning more? Be sure to catch Megan on Tuesday or Wednesday. She is looking forward to getting to know all of the wonderful dance families at Prestige Dance Studio!

Where did you grow up? I grew up in Cedar Rapids, IA.

Where did you go to school and what did you study? I went to University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, IA. There I studied Family Services.

What has been your most rewarding dance experience? I love seeing students’ faces light up when they learn something new, and the excited look on their faces just to be in the studio.

What was your most embarrassing dance moment? In high school I was a member of the dance team. While dancing in front of the whole high school my shoe fell during one of our performances!

Why do you like teaching dance? I love teaching because I get to share my love of dance with others. I hope through my classes, I can help others to love it as much as I do!
