About this episode

This episode explores the reasons why students may struggle to keep up in dance and fitness classes and offers solutions for instructors.

If your students always seem just a little behind in class… it may not be them. In this episode, I break down why so many dance and fitness instructors struggle with students keeping up — and what’s actually causing it. We talk about: * the real reason students fall behind (hint: it’s not coordination) * why teaching to the music instead of the beat creates confusion * how inconsistency in your class structure leads to hesitation * and what shifts when your students can actually connect to the rhythm If you’ve ever felt like you’re cueing, explaining, and demonstrating… and your class still isn’t with you, this episode will help you understand why — and what to change. This is the first piece of a bigger system that creates flow, confidence, and retention in your classes. 🔹 Grab your seat for my FREE training, The 4 Things I Do To Sell Out Every Class (that most instructors don’t), https://sharqui.kartra.com/page/SBB 🔹 Need a boost of joy, sweat, and sisterhood?
