Well aftera nice long break for the summer i am back and ready to begin Module 2 of my BAPP.
Throughout this Module we have to begin to find our question that we will use for our professional inquiry.
Now for a while over and over the summer and towards the the start of the new academic year i have begun to notice a particular demand for Acrobatic dance and gymnastics skills.
As i am not qualified in this genre i have found this has posed a particular quandry for me as a teacher in two ways really.
1. other dance schools in my area seem to offer these classes and so many of pupils are branching out to other schools therefore potentialy threatening loss of buisness.
2.the increased risk of injury to pupils as they experiment at home without proper training or supervision.
This has led me to lots of different avenues of thinking.
- how can dance schools possibly keep up with the demand of the latest fads and trends?
- do i do the course to become qualified to join the trend and please the masses, even thogh ethicly it might not be something i agree with?
- why is traditional dance no longer good enough for parents and students
I already have professionals from outside the course on my SIG but it would be nice to see how others feel about this on the course.
I wondered if anyone else has ever felt the same way as me and if so maybe you might like to join my SIG group?!
I look forward to hearing peoples feedback and am intrigued to see other peoples interests as we move forward in Module 2.
