Talk less, teach more. Why explaining kills a dance class.
Students cannot process ten corrections at once. A beginner's attention is a small cup and it overflows fast.
So choose one clear cue. Let them move. Wait before adding another instruction. Then ask what did you feel, before you explain again, because the answer tells you whether anything landed.
Silence gives the body time to learn. Say less, and make every word useful.
