These posters are exactly what I was looking for when needing a visual in my classroom. They are detailed, well thought out, clear and concise. They are the perfect example for young dancers or reminders for the more advanced students. I will be printing these out to keep on hand, as well as hang in the studio. Thank you so much Maria!

Young children and teens alike will enjoy viewing the catchy phrases and working to apply them.As a long-time ballet instructor, I am always looking for ways to make the material I present to my classes more concrete. The Posture Posters do just that, in a fun and non-intimidating way.

How we as educators can start teaching body anatomy at a younger age. It's not too complex for them to understand & it may even help them with applying technique when they have a better understanding of their joints & muscles.

I think I learned a lot on how to and when to give inputs and corrections. I think knowing you have to give a correction and how to give a correction on very different.

I enjoyed the course, I felt engaged & liked the colors & how it was presented. I didn’t think they would be important, but I found that it helped me enjoy what I was learning more. I love having a certificate that I can add to my portfolio.

I was able to have more resources to look into When explaining and educating my dancers on the way their body works.

5/5

I liked the way you explained the mental capacity of younger vs older minds. It stuck with me, the image of a box getting more full trying to grasp several things at once instead of applying things to knowledge they already had. Sometimes I think as teachers we expect students to grasp on to more because they are fresh and knew but instead it may be too overwhelming.
