In the whirlwind of pirouettes and pliés, life took an unexpected turn, leading me from the spotlight as a dancer to the transformative role of a dance teacher. The world of dance, like many others, faced challenges during the pandemic, and my professional contract dreams took a detour. It was then that the rhythm of teaching called, beckoning me to share my passion in a different way.
Teaching dance wasn't just a career shift; it was a metamorphosis of my relationship with the art form. No longer bathed in the applause of a live audience, I learned to cherish the quieter victories – the shy student finding their voice or the joy of seeing a class nail a routine on their own.
Yet, in the midst of this new journey, a challenge arose. As a dance teacher, the scramble for notes before class, the chaotic flurries of paper and the quest to decipher my own choreography became a daily ordeal. It was then, in a flurry of inspiration, that the idea of And Prepare and its Choreography Notebooks was born.
These notebooks weren't just pages bound together; they were a solution to a problem many dance teachers face – the need for a structured, organised space to jot down choreography, notes, and reflections. Designed with the dance teacher's chaos in mind, these Choreography Notebooks became my way of bringing order to the intricate steps of dance instruction.
Excitement pulses through every page of this venture. As I navigate this new terrain of entrepreneurship, I am eager to share my journey with you. This blog isn't just about notebooks; it's about the community we're building – a space where dancers, teachers, and supporters alike can connect and resonate with the challenges and triumphs of a dance teacher's life.
And Prepare aligns with the values of simplicity, practicality, and community. I believe in creating a haven for dance teachers, a slice of calmness in their bustling lives. This venture isn't just about selling a product; it's about building a supportive community around a shared love for dance.
So, here's to the dance of life, the choreography of challenges, and the beautiful rhythm of community. Welcome to And Prepare, where every step is a celebration, and the dance is just beginning.
