6 Lesson plans for teachers who are ill or injured
Because even the best belly dance teacher is allowed a sick day!
Every belly dance teacher wants to provide fun, educational and stimulating lessons for their students. However, even the most organized belly dance teacher will have an occasional “off day” – perhaps they have an injury, it was a bad day at work, or maybe there are family issues that need dealing with. With a little preparation TODAY, you can be confident that you will always have the prefect lesson available, just when you need it.
