52 Lesson Plans–And How to write 5,000 more – Sara Shrapnell

Sale Page Archive

In this workshop I’m going to share with you 52 lesson plans that you can use for your beginner or mixed ability level classes for a full year. My aim is to help you if you are new to teaching belly dance, or if you struggle to come up with a formal plan for each of your lessons.

In the spirit of “Teach a man to fish” – I will also be sharing with you the formula that I use to create lesson plans, so that you can go forward with lesson plans that better suit your students or your teaching style, lessons for more advanced students and lessons that suit your own dance philosophy.

There are two ways you can use this workshop:

• You may want to write your own lesson plans and use the 52 lessons as examples of the formula.
• Or you may just want to teach the pre-set lessons, and use the formula as a better way to understand how the 52 lessons were developed.
