I'M FROM NC. 23 GRADUATED THIS MAY WITH A BACHELORS IN HISTORY. WE DID NOT HAVE DANCE AT MY SCHOOL OUTSIDE OF CLUBS AND GROUPS ON CAMPUS BUT I DID AS MUCH AS I COULD. I CURRENTLY AM A COLLEGIATE CHEERLEADING COACH BUT MY FIRST LOVE IS DANCE. NEXT YEAR I WILL BE TEACHING DANCE AT A HIGH SCHOOL AND IT WILL BE A SMALL CHALLENGE BECAUSE I LOOK LIKE A TEENAGER. AT THE UNIVERSITY IT WAS EASIER BECAUSE I HAD CHEERED WITH THEM SO THEY KNEW "BIG RED" WAS NOT DIFFERENT AS A COACH. I AM VERY EXCITED BECAUSE I HAVE REAT IDEAS FOR A RECITAL AND DIFFERENT IDEAS FOR SCHOOL FUNCTIONS. WHAT ADVICE COULD YOU GIVE A NEW TEACHER STARTING OUT. IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WAS THE DANCE TEACHER ASSISTANT FOR TWO SEMESTERS, I TAUGHT SUMMER DANCE CAMPS AND CHEER CAMPS. RECENTLY I DID A DANCE TRAINING FOR FOUR WEEKS.SINCE SCHOOL IS I CAN'T GET IN CONTACT WITH ANY TEACHERS AND I WOULD LIKE INSIGHT FROM OUTSIDE OUR SYSTEM.
