you want to solve.
Bring a class, a curriculum or a shared teaching challenge. Start with the support that best matches what you need now.
02 · Curriculum design
Build a learning progression.
Turn topics into a coherent course with goals, prerequisites, sequencing, practice, review and clear transitions between levels.
Discuss your curriculum →03 · Teams & schools
Create consistency across a program.
Work on shared goals, class structure, feedback standards, mixed levels and how multiple teachers support one learning progression.
Discuss your team or school →Put your ideas to work
Plan the curriculum. Then plan the class.
Use the Curriculum Planner for the learning progression and the Session Planner for the detailed lesson. The two tools stay connected.
Curriculum planner
Define the destination, prerequisites and sequence. Create sessions and open them for detailed planning.
Build a progression →Session planner
Set a learning goal, organize timed activities and decide how you will check learning.
Plan a session →Your Zouk and Lambada plans save to your website account. Move between the curriculum and its sessions without downloading or importing files.
Teacher framework · Applied pedagogy
Teaching is a sequence of decisions.
A good class is not a list of movements to cover. It connects clear outcomes, prerequisites, attention, practice, feedback and reflection—then changes when the students show you something different.
Explore the teaching framework
Define the learning first.
Start with what students should be able to do, not simply what you plan to teach. I separate technical, social and personal outcomes so the class develops more than movement vocabulary.
Reduce complexity without losing the idea.
Break movement into larger components and smaller mechanical elements. Build basic, intermediate and advanced versions so challenge can change without changing the learning goal.
Give the brain a manageable task.
Use precise instructions and one useful focus at a time. Demonstrate, count, describe, use imagery and let students feel the task—multiple routes into the same idea without overloading attention.
Close the loop.
Observe something specific, give one concrete next action, then return and check what changed. Feedback is not finished when the teacher speaks; it is finished when we can observe the next attempt.
Evaluate the teaching, not only the student.
If the intended learning does not appear, reconsider the cue, exercise, progression or environment. Student outcomes are evidence about our teaching decisions and what should change next.
Class architecture
Prepare → learn → integrate → recover.
The exact timing changes by class, but the functions should be intentional. Warm-up is split into general readiness and specific preparation for the actual demands of the lesson.
Mental arrivalFocus attention, establish context and make the learning goal clear.
General warm-upRaise whole-body readiness and progressively move the major regions of the body.
Specific warm-upPrepare the exact ranges, tissues, coordination, rhythm or connection demands used later.
Main learningBuild the focal skill through clear layers, high-quality attempts and useful feedback.
Integration & transferChange partner, music, constraints or context so the skill becomes adaptable rather than memorized.
Cool-down & reflectionReduce intensity, notice what changed and connect today’s learning to what comes next.
Evidence note.
I use multimodal instruction rather than assigning students fixed “visual”, “auditory” or “kinesthetic” learning styles. The useful question is which representation helps this learner understand this task—not which permanent category they belong to.
Built through practice.
This framework is designed to be tested in real classes through observation, practice teaching, student response, self-evaluation and continuous refinement.

Before we begin
A few useful answers.
Is this for me if I haven’t started teaching yet?
Yes. Preparing your first class is a useful place to begin. We can work on a clear learning goal, a manageable progression and how to explain or demonstrate the ideas you want to teach.
How is this different from dance mentorship?
Teacher development focuses on how you help other people learn: planning, explanation, observation, feedback and curriculum design. Dance mentorship focuses on your own dancing and practice. If you want to work on both, describe that in your inquiry so we can discuss the right focus.
What should I bring to a first conversation?
A question is enough to start. If you have one, bring a lesson outline, course plan or example of a difficulty you encounter in class. Tell me who your learners are and what you want them to be able to do.
Can a school or teaching team work with you?
Yes. We can discuss a shared teaching challenge, teacher-development work or the design and review of a curriculum. Include the size of your team, your learners’ levels and the program you have in mind.
How are the format and fee decided?
Start by sharing your goals, location and possible dates. We’ll discuss the scope, format, availability and fee together. Sending an inquiry starts that conversation; it does not confirm a booking.
