Season 6: REBOOT Introduction - Dance Teachers... Ask the Pod

Hello Dance EdVenturists! Welcome back to the Dance to Learn Podcast! The Preschool Dance Teacher’s Podcast! I’m your Host Jessica Strong, and I want to say thank you to our Season 6 Sponsor Dance Dance Hooray! Today’s episode is a short introduction to this Season Reboot which kicks off next Friday 5/23! I wanted to share my goal with the Podcast and the best way you can submit your listener questions and be featured on the show! 

First, my goal with the Podcast is to hear from real voices active in the dance community. You - the real teachers and studio owners living this life every day! I get frustrated hearing the same voices in the industry, and want to give you a chance to shine. I also want to help dance teachers feel more confident in the classroom, by addressing your questions, problems you're experiencing and frustrations you may have in the studio. You’ll not only hear from me, you’ll get advice from your peers, who have probably experienced the same things and can provide tried and true help and advice.

How can you get your questions answered? First you will want to join us in the Preschool Dance Teacher’s Forum! This is a private dance community hosted on Facebook and sponsored by Dance to Learn! Inside the Forum you will find a weekly Ask the Pod Post. What is Ask the Pod - this is a weekly post in the Preschool Dance Teacher’s Forum where you can ask your questions to receive help and feedback from myself and others. Originally I was opening Ask the Pod on Mondays and closing the Pod on Tuesdays, however, I want to give you more time to submit your questions. So I’m switching Ask the Pod to start on Friday and we will close it on Monday evening. 

Pod Talk is the opportunity for other dance teachers and studio owners to help our listeners by providing advice and tips to help our Ask the Pod members. I will open Pod Talk on Tuesdays and leave that post open until Wednesday evening! 

If you are featured on the podcast you will be addressed by your first name and last initial. For example, this week on Ask the Pod our question comes from Jessica S. If you’d like to remain anonymous you can also email me your questions to podcast@dancetolearn.co and I’ll post on your behalf! 

If you have a question or a problem that you would like addressed here on the Podcast - be sure to join us in the Preschool Dance Teacher’s Forum, I’ve shared that link to the group in the Show Notes! Ask the Pod is live for our Kick off episode happening on Friday 5/23! I can’t wait to hear from you!

Happy Dance EdVenturing!
