3.1 | Understanding the learning process

Practical learning: The dance lessons are often carried out in lecture demonstration way in huge halls where the students can freely express themselves. The teacher (sometimes the assistant, who is a senior student) demonstrates and the students follow.

Learning Grammar: The gestures and basic movements are refined through regular practice sessions. They are taught in groups timely revised till the students have understood.

Practice sessions: The students revise the newly learnt syllabus under the observation of the senior students till they master it.

Theory subjects: Printed notes are provided to the students to refer to the theory syllabus. Often they start preparing for the exam a month before the exam schedules.

Common queries: The parents are often concerned about the exams especially the theory. The fear of theory exams often gives the students a reason to discontinue their learning.

Language barriers: The available notes and reference material are available in language level which is difficult for the target group to interpret and understand.

Helpless parents: The parents are unaware of the dance basics and thus are unable to help their children with the theory aspect of dance. They expect all the queries of their little ones to be explained by the dance institute themself so that it would not hamper their child’s growth in the field of interest.

All-text format: No visual reference makes the young learners difficult to understand the subject which already contains complex subject matter and terminologies with difficult pronunciations unlike their school syllabus.
