Release time = Potential Stress Time

10 07 2008

It’s that time again!  Release time when all the group exercise classes get the new wave of music, moves and gives your brain and body, a new workout.

This is a WONDERFUL time for the folks who come to classes, but it can be a bit stressful for Instructors.  Afterall, we’re learning all new choreography, plus, we end up practicing multiple times, and we end up teaching typically 1.5-2 times more classes than usual.  For an instructor who normally teaches 4 classes per week – that would be teaching 6-8 classes in one week.  Wow.  No wonder many of us get sick after this time!

So, what’s an instructor to do?  Take it easy.  Don’t get stressed out.  If you flub, it’s no big deal and remember that it really won’t matter a year from now.

So, what can class-goers do?  Go to the special classes – the instructors spend a lot of time in preparation and it is always more fun and appreciated when the classes are packed.  Plus, don’t forget to tell the instructors how much you appreciated the special class.

So, what can I do?  I better learn 2 hours of choreography FAST, so I can help deliver a world class experience!
