It is often said that failing to plan is, more or less, deliberately planning to fail. And indeed, in most situations where we have been successful in life, it tends to turn out that we planned well - that being in a situation where planning is simply making decisions in advance on what to do, on various eventualities. It is based on those premises then, that as a dancing tutor, you could find yourself inclined to make a lesson plan beforehand, so that during the fluid moments of the lesson (where you are with the learners in the actual 'classroom' situation), you role becomes one of simply implementing the dance class plan, and perhaps fine-tuning it in line with emerging realities in the course of the lesson. So, the question you are faced with, at this point, is as to how to go about planning for a successful dancing lesson. And as it turns out, there are two answer-elements to this question: one with regard to things you need to do, in planning for such a successful dancing lesson, and the second with regard to the 'things' to include in the dance lesson plan, in order to make it a success. Let's start with the things you need to do, when planning for a successful dancing lesson. As it turns out, one of the things you need to do is take into consideration the profiles of the people who will be taking the lesson, and structure it accordingly. This is about customizing your lesson. It is to counteract the situation where some dancing instructors, probably motivated by laziness, have been known to create dance classs based on the 'one size fits all' philosophy, so that you find the structure of their lesson being the same, whether the takers be kids, teens, adults or senior citizens! Needless to say, the structure of a dancing lesson that would be ideal for kids is different from the structure of a dancing lesson that would be ideal teens or adults. Give the typically highly structured adult's dancing lesson to kids, and you are sure to bore them to death. On the other hand, give the typically ultra-simple dance class meant for kids to adults, and you are also certain to bore them badly.
