Indeed, this puts a whole lot of responsibility on the shoulders of those who consider themselves 'dance teachers' or call themselves 'gurus'. The awareness of this responsibility led me to examine just what kind of teachers are we today. It dawned upon me that before we talk about the proper or correct method of training students, there needs to be some reflection on the ways in which we teach dance. Teachers need to ask themselves - Are we trained or training ourselves to be educators? Do we see 'dance teaching' as a 'side-job' or an actual education? What do we consider to be a dance education?
