As a dance teacher myself I get tired of consistently having to generate material. I love having a chance to sink into what another teacher can create for me so that I can pour myself into it and get out of my own mind. When I teach I have to hold space for my students and create structure that places me as guide and guardian and saves them from having to be self-disciplined on every front. Having someone else make space for me in that way is such a gift. I readily admit that plenty of classes out there are not welcoming enough or well-constructed enough, but for me at this stage in my life I’d rather be in a great teacher’s class than on stage.
