What SHOULD I talk about in my video?

Focus only on 1 or 2 specific ideas that reflect your experience and journey with the R3 Dance program! Here's some "prompts" for inspiration; choose whatever resonates with you the most:

1) "Before I joined the R3 Dance program, I was struggling with/overwhelmed by..."

2) "Once major thing that I've learned (or implemented) from the R3 Dance program is..."

3) If you are a dance educator who's trying to decide whether or not to join the R3 Dance program, my advice is ____ because ______" 

4) "I decided to join the Roots Rhythm Race & Dance program because..."

5) "One way that the R3 Dance program has encouraged me/given me confidence is..." 

6) "One surprising benefit of joining the R3 Dance program for me was..."

What SHOULDN'T I talk about in my video?

In a word...

"Karida".

"Karida is so great..."

"Karida is amazing..."

"Karida is the best..."

I BEG you: please don't spend 2 minutes talking about me, seriously!

I'm not saying this out of humility; I'm saying this because I am thinking about what would be most helpful to dance educators to learn from watching your video.

I believe that it would help people to hear about YOUR experiences, waaaaay more than to hear you go on and on about me!!! 

So please, talk about YOU and YOUR journey, and don't spend that time focused on "Karida"! :-P

Yes!! 

YOUR voice is important.

If you're very early in your journey, your video will really resonate with educators who are just getting started! 

If you've made a lot of strides, that would be so inspirational! 

No matter the style you teach, no matter if you teach in public schools private studios, online, social dance classes...your voice will resonate with folks out there! 

Your voice counts!

**You must submit your video by Sunday, January 3rd to be considered for prizes**

Your video will be shared in various ways (social media, emails, ads) to encourage other dance educators to consider joining the R3 Dance program.

I really believe that your voice will really create waves of impact...

...just ONE dance educator who is inspired by YOUR video influences a great number of students...

...so your impact can truly be EXPONENTIAL!!!

Prize winners will be announced on Saturday, January 9th at 9am PT/ 12pm ET (US)

on a live Zoom check-in session for R3D Alumni! 

After Jan 9th, I'll also send an email with results! 

Even if you feel like your accomplishments thus far are "too small"...THINK AGAIN! Two points:

1) There are all kinds of dance educators out there who would be encouraged and inspired as they hear about the early beginnings of your journey, and how the R3 Dance program helped you to get onto a clearer path. 

HERE'S ONE MORE HUGE POINT

2) If you're wanting to create more impact with your students right now, but can't because of Covid madness, the VERY ACT OF MAKING THIS VIDEO TESTIMONIAL is IMPACTFUL!

So even if you can't help your students right now, you could help other teachers and THEIR students by sharing your story.

Your 2-minute video can truly make an exponential impact, so this would be an addition to your accomplishments in way! ❤️

Yep!

Even though you've already done a written testimonial, folks would love to see and hear from you on video.

And yeah, you can enter to win a prize!!!

1) Please keep the video to 2 minutes

2) Landscape/Horizontal filming would be ideal.

3) You can use your phone, computer camera, whatever. 

4) Make sure your lighting enables you and your face to be clearly featured. 

(no "witness protection" videos please, haha) 

5) Keep it simple and FAST. Don't hire a hair stylist or a makeup artist - you see I don't wear makeup most of the time, so...🤷🏽‍♀️

The video doesn't have to look "professionally done", you know what I mean?

LOW STRESS!

Just want to hear you clearly, see you clearly, and listen to your authentic voice!
