Thank you Monica, I'm teaching a 12 year old for the 2nd time. The first time we did mat work to the theme of Barbie's ranch. Your cues are perfect to continue with that theme. Sorry a few others don't understand how slow a first session with a child can be.
I've recently acquired a young dancer, and have been challenged as to how to cue her in the exercises. This is a masterclass in cueing for young clients. It's entertaining yet informative, and has the feel of feeling a story. This has been incredibly helpful!
