About this episode

This episode discusses the concept of cognitive overload in dance fitness classes and offers strategies for more effective teaching and cueing.

Have you ever explained something in class over and over… and your students still looked completely lost? In this episode, we’re talking about the real reason students struggle to follow in dance and dance fitness classes - and why explaining more often makes it worse. I break down the concept of cognitive overload , how over-cueing overwhelms students, and why layering movement step by step creates faster learning, more confidence, and better retention. We also talk about the difference between giving students more information versus giving them information in the right order. If you’re a dance instructor or dance fitness instructor who wants students to feel more successful, engaged, and confident in class, this episode will completely shift the way you think about teaching and cueing. 🔹 Grab your seat for my FREE training, The 4 Things I Do To Sell Out Every Class (that other instructors don’t), https://sharqui.kartra.com/page/SBB 🔹 Need a boost of joy, sweat, and sisterhood?
