Recital Time means Juggling numerous Balls Simultaneously!
In preparation for a recital, there is so much to juggle as a dance teacher and studio owner. Quite simply it is almost inevitable that a few balls will be dropped during this busy time of year.
Accepting help, advice and strategies or even a checklist to help you keep all the balls in the air is a sign of not just a dedicated teacher but a smart teacher.
You do not need to do it all...alone.
