Blog 2: Summer Mentorship


2. Perfect Pointe School of Dance
   Belinda Maturo- School Director

3. What is the best age a dancer should start dancing?
   How many hours should a young dancer be training if they want to go professional?
   What is the best way to help a dancer understand and remember choreography?

4. The most important thing I gained from this experience is that not all dancers are the same and you cannot teach them as if they are. When teaching a class you often have to go through the steps multiple times and break it down for each dancer in different ways.

5. My senior topic is still going to be on dance, specifically what it takes to train a professional dancer. My summer mentorship helped me decide on this topic because a lot of the teachers I shadowed were former professional dancers and the dancers in the classes I observed showed a lot of dedication and passion for dance.
