Hey, my name is Valeri Ivanov and I am locked up more than 60 DAYS in my house because of the COVID 19. At this time, like many other teachers, I have started to teach
online and probably because we as teachers are not able to correct our students by touching them physically we work more on some
basic principles and techniques.
What a SURPRISE when we saw that even our best students do NOT know some important foundations of the dances that are well known and that the teachers take for granted.
Time value of different steps, leg or body actions, foot positions, and alignments, in addition to some fundamental principles, which must be part of the knowledge of every good dancer as they are based on anatomy and basic principles of coordination.
I had a meeting with my colleagues from DS Team and I saw that we all have experienced the same feeling, so we wanted to find a way to help our students to improve in this regard.
