Teaching: The Art of Spotting

Teaching is an art all of its own; it’s every bit as much my passion as performing. Spotting, too, is an art all of its own. An experienced instructor will know how to keep a student safe and give them the grip, engagement and feel of a move, without taking the work completely away from them.

Teaching is an art all of its own. It's every bit as much my passion as performing. Being a great coach involves knowing what the right level is for each individual student and making each class about them and what best serves them. And spotting is a huge part of taking a student from A to Z. Spotting is an art too: it should be used to maintain safety and allow a student to experience how a move should FEEL and grip. There is a true art in knowing how to spot just enough without taking the onus of the effort away from the student. This was part of my first class of the day.
