However, teaching kids how to dance is a major challenge which dance studios are facing worldwide. As you know, many solutions have been suggested on how to teach kids dance. Although some are not effective as others. And in many cases, certain methods don't work effectively in some places or parts of the world due to some reasons like culture, constitution, civilization, facilities, technology and so on. On this note, it's frustrating when adapting a European method of teaching kids dance on African soil. So many things will go wrong. This is applicable in other cases.
So I strongly suggest that teaching kids dance should be done with high understanding of so many factors. Otherwise effectiveness may be lost. That's why I don't use the exact French terminologies when teaching my African kids ballet. I simplify everything in a language that they can easily accept and relate with. And someone asked me what if my students meet foreign students? I simply said they will be doing the same routine \steps or similar combinations but with different language but meaning the same thing. That is what I call originality.
At this point, one way of teaching kids dance is to have the virtue of patience. Another way is to have more patience and lastly, have infinite patience.
