A Typical Shift

You arrive a bit early to review your class plan, set up the space, and greet children and caregivers as they check in. As music starts, you guide warm‑ups, and then move into skill‑building combinations and short routines tailored to the group’s age (3–5, 6–9, or 10+). Between songs, you offer clear cues, quick water breaks and encouragement that helps each child feel capable. You close class with a cool‑down and a brief wrap‑up so families leave knowing what was practiced and what’s coming next. The schedule is TBD, with sessions focused on creating a fun, safe, and consistent experience.
