Love this discussion! Thank you for making me laugh  

I love this! 
The tips are good and fun! Love how Maria called out her friend Tracey for being too nice! xxo to you both! 

Oo now I know I'm too nice! But I did ask someone in class to put their gum in the trash for the first time the other day - she gave me a dirty look - but I knew Maria would be proud of me :) 

QUESTION— Do you use music? I do not but the owner of studio who taught me before me— used music. 

Thank you! I’m a new teacher and command of the room Was and is my biggest challenge. I need to get a little tougher on chatty Cathy’s and questions. I’ve never taught anything in my life so having command was and still is a big one for me. Thank you!

So a really good part of teaching is to ask for feeback on your classes.     Get inventive as to how you go about this.   It can be very uplifting as people do make some wonderful comments.   If you are worried about asking people for feedback, then maybe?? you should be concerned about yourself as an instructor.

Feedback

Oh my gosh Maria cracks me up she's my teacher and I would NEVER ask her questions in the middle of a flow haha. But I really like both teachers perspective thanks ladies!

Thank you. I view myself as FUN (by default) but slightly strict...too much talking I will ask the Student to see Me after class for a discussion. ugh....tough love

I love the honesty here! It’s good to know even the experts such as yourselves experience the chatter and I love the tips on how to quiet them down through two different methods. Thank you so much Maria and Tracey!
