Teaching Techniques for Dancemasters

Ideas for teaching dance more effectively in the Society. If you would like to introduce harder dances to your group, displace out-of-period dances with reconstructions, or increase attendance at your dance practice, I have suggestions.

Other classes by the teacher(s) listed above are highlighted yellow below.
