Except for the first couple class and the last one, most weeks are about the same.
Before:
- Email the class list with the weekly email, including schedule & location, link to lesson page, and (often) a brainteaser. If there are complications, like a club meeting, warn them about that. Also mention any upcoming events like class level dances they should be aware of.
- Print a copy of attendance.
- Pick a topic for class meeting.
During:
- Get the badge box and relevant handouts from the locker.
- Give out badges at walkthrus (or set them out on a table), then at the start of the first tip give badges to people who didn't go to walkthrus.
- Take attendance at walkthrus and class.
- Make sure class get into every tip and balance squares as needed.
- While dancing or watching, keep an eye out for dancers who are struggling.
- Run class meeting.
- Offer handouts at walkthrus & class meeting. Have the overall list of calls, the current week's definitions, definitions from the past week or two, and formations (at least after you start talking about formations).
- Collect badges at the end.
- Put away leftover handouts & the badge box.
After:
- Fill in the attendance sheet online.
- Do mailing list maintenance for anyone who has missed too much.
