First Class!

So I taught my first pole class today. It was great. I was a little nervous, as most first time teachers probably are, but I've been assisting long enough (and the instructor I assist with is awesome for letting me get some practise actually teaching in her classes) that once I got the students in the class, the how part just fell into place.

There are of course a few things I could work on - making sure not to over-complicate the explanations is one. I had to remind myself of that today. And I need to have some kind of a set plan for timing of different parts and how many times we run through a thing.

The girls in class today picked everything up super quick though - I even got to the point of giving them little hints and tips to make things more graceful.

All in all, I'd say it was good first class. A few of them were quite excited for next week, so that made me happy :) Always good for a teacher if the students enjoy the class.
