Your Ultimate Guide to Practicing

Welcome to Your Ultimate Guide to Practicing! This month-long course is designed to help you develop a practice routine at any level. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced dancer, this course will give you the tips and tricks you need to build and improve your practice routine.

Over the next month, you’ll learn how to choose the material you want to practice, how to focus on specific techniques, and how to set up a dedicated practice space. You’ll also have access to a private Facebook group where you can post your progress, share your wins, and ask questions. I’ll be offering coaching and feedback sessions throughout the month for those who are interested.

So if you’re ready to take your dancing to the next level, sign up for Your Ultimate Guide to Practicing today!

The month of September we will be running a challenge and a course on practicing. Members and non-members can participate. Sign up for the membership here and/or join the free private Facebook group.

We worked with Marla Fibish’s recording of The Doon Reel. She is a fellow Lark Camp instructor and taught this tune to her students this week. I feel in love with the tune and the way she plays that tune. Since we can be in person dancing at the sessions with Marla this is the next best thing. Marla taught this tune day 1 at Lark.
