Coach’s Eye – App for Dance Teachers

I came across this great app that I just started using for cleaning dances and am loving it!

It’s called “Coach’s Eye
(link opens in iTunes) and it works on iPhones, iPads and iPods.  It $4.99, but its a worthy investment of five bucks – let’s face it, I’ve spend more on coffee in one day (not sure if I like what that says about my caffeine addiction).

This app allows you to record a dance, play it back for your students (in regular or slow motion) and even draw on the video like a football coach or the play-by-play guys on TV do.

You can also record yourself critiquing the video and then share it or send it to your students.

I am trying it out this week and will let you know what I think!

Preparing the Studio for a New Season

My studio’s dance season opens Friday and these last few weeks have been a whirlwind of projects, phone calls, paperwork and a bit of end-of-summer procrastination.
This year will be my fifth season as studio director and I am excited to challenge myself this year with being more creative and at the same time more organized.
So here’s a glimpse at the last few weeks of studio life.  I had planned to share some of these projects as I was doing, but in reality, they will be shared in a future post… once students and classes settle down into their routines!
 
Wishing you all the best on your new dance season!
