Hours: Observation
Watch and learn.
Add context to your learning by seeing how it works in a Studio environment. Be inspired watching qualified Instructors at work in a group class or private/semi-private Studio setting.
Consider and reflect on the practical elements of running a class or session, things like:
Programming
Repertoire
Communication styles
Cueing
Group/client management
Safety and more.
Then let this knowledge inform your own teaching practice and study!
