Structure a class that creates progress
A class needs more than a good combination.
- Start with one clear outcome.
- Prepare the body and attention for that outcome.
- Teach the principle before adding complexity.
- Create enough successful repetitions.
- Apply it with music and a partner.
- Finish with a simple self-check.
- Students should leave knowing what changed.

How to structure a dance class that actually creates progress.
A good class tells a simple story. Prepare the body and the ear. Teach one concept, only one, and go deep instead of wide. Create enough successful repetitions. Apply it as a couple, with music, rotating partners. Finish with a simple self check.
Repetition is king, but it is the quality of the repetition that builds the habit. Ten clean beat fifty messy.
Your job is not to fill the hour with movements. It is to make one thing land so deeply the student owns it forever.
A Kizomba class needs a spine: warm up, one theme, application, homework.
