Ideas for motivating and teaching life skills to your dance students. Did you know that dance teachers are also psychologists?! Some have had formal training and others have simply devised systems over the years that give support to their students and produce the results that everyone is hoping for. Understanding Your Ability To Influence First and foremost, it is important for any dance teacher to realize that he or she is an important role model to their students. Those students will look to you to decipher what is important and what is not. It is extremely helpful for any dancer, whether serious or recreational, to come away from their training with more than simply the knowledge of how to dance. As young students go through your programs there will be all kinds of psychological issues that will come into play either propelling them ahead or slowing them down to almost a complete halt. They may be slightly affected by these issues or greatly affected by them. Guiding students through these moments and teaching them how to ultimately work through them on their own, will not only make them better dancers, but will also prepare them for whatever may lie ahead by giving them needed coping skills.
