A friend of mine is taking over a kids gymnastics place. At the request of some of her friends she has been asked to put together a nightly step class for a bunch of woman in weight watchers who just want a real basic beginner class (no fancy foot work.) These woman feel uncomfortable going to a gym. They are intimadated by the men and or super fit girls. She knows I love Cathe and love to step and asked if I would be able to run the class for these woman.
I would love to do this but I am not a licensed instructer, and I have never taught a class before. I have no problem coming up with choreography but anyone know where I can get tips on teaching/cueing or where I can learn. Do all step instructers do what Cathe does as far as saying (right foot on while using her left.) That to me seems like it would be really confusing ... Shes giving me til January to learn Is that even enough time???.I am honored that she is giving me this opportunity but I just dont want to let her down by not teaching the class right and confusing people. Any input would be much appreciated....Thanks
