We Train World Class Instructors FIRST...
... who then Create Amazing Students
I haven't been at my studio for 4 months and Salsa Classes are at a 53% increase in students. The methods your DBM taught about leverage and looking for the right type of person to put in place has been a true relief and a boat load of fun from the student stand point!

The syllabus combos are already recorded and done in a systematic order week by week, month by month for us online. They are labelled "Core Combo" for every week. There is between one and two per week for us. We just need to add DTB and styling.
That's it! The BBS is now a DREAM turn-key system. Click and Play. .:)
We need to record the Fundamental Fifteen so others on the team can emulate.
Jacques: Is there a core combo for every week of every degree?
Edie: Yup.
Jacques: Kick ass
Edie: Totally.
Jacques: Do we know if each of these core combos incorporate moves from prior belts?
Edie: Pete and I have been working on this since January 1. They incorporate all previous. It's amazing.
Go have a look for yourself!
Jacques: Crap, I'm gonna have to go home and watch all of these.
That's awesome
Next question -
Considering how much we aim to get through each month - sometimes it goes quickly, other times we don't finish everything - how do we squeeze these in so that the students get regular practice with the core combos?
This is one thing I was discussing with Pete...
If we insert training & practice time with the core combos, then this could easily stretch out the syllabus to take longer than 15, 18 months to finish, which is a win-win
Edie: 23 months last count. to be exact
Jacques: That's the syllabus as it is right now?
Edie: yup
Jacques: :D
So it'll stretch out even more
Which is awesome, because we'll never run out of material to teach!!
Edie: Oh Yea!!!
What a wonderful experience your course was!
You covered a lot of what I hadn't thought of, things that if I would have known before starting out that I would have done differently. It was a great learning experience and I will definitely utilize all of the knowledge that was given for my company and encourage other instructors to take your course as well! I would definitely recommend this course to all of my fellow instructors!

You certainly gave me great insight on how to improve how I teach my classes & how I conduct my business back in Atlanta. It was also great to meet other instructors & to have the opportunity to network with other dance studio owners all over the U.S...

I felt that your stories told was the most important part. They were a great help in understanding the business side as a dance instructor, as well as the experiences that went on in getting to where you have become today. Another thing that I felt was most important - BLUE TAPE! I will attend another Instructors Training, in fact, I already have a few that are wanting to go to the next Instructors Training!

How to start ... OUTSTANDING! PHENOMENAL! LIFE ALTERING! I'd attended two of your classes prior to this (DBM and White Belt Certification) next level of certification. I had my chair upright, seatbelt buckled and my tray table stowed in the locked and upright position and still I wasn't prepared for the level of instruction and intensity of these courses.
No one teaches the whys like you do Edie. In many, many, many seminars and classes that I've attended. They tell you what to do ... but never the whys. You shared the whys, which in turn connected all of the dots. Being willing to recognize that I didn't know what I didn't know ... made the it possible to see the connectedness. WOW! I'm preparing myself for the next belt now. I am convinced, "Clarity is the first lesson in learning". You brought the clarity and I was more than able to learn!!!
Thank-you for taking the time and devoting the energy to designing and developing this system. You and your team deserve the highest accolades.
In the Navy we say Bravo Zulu when someone does something that deserves praise. BRAVO ZULU EDIE AND TEAM!!!
