Dance Teachers Online Newsletter

Hi DTOL Member

…and welcome to the first DTOL newsletter of 2021.

This issue of the newletter is sponsored by Sho Botham of cpd for dance teachers.

Hidden Benefits

Many of us have embraced the online world with Zoom classes over the past 12 months; however there are actually future benefits to this too. The next time an unforeseen event occurs, such as heavy snowfall, a water leak, roadworks, etc.; then no need to cancel classes (and lose income), just move them online. You, as dance teachers, are used to this. Your students are used to this. So why not!

May I (very belatedly) wish you all a successful year, as we all gradually get back to welcoming all of our students back into our studios once more.

Take care everyone!
