What SHOULD I talk about in my video?

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

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

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

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

4) "I decided to join the Tap Teachers' Lounge program because..."

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

6) "One surprising benefit of joining the TTL 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!

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!
