Use the search. There are a lot of good threads about teaching introductory steps to people.Here are some of my tips:1. Plan out what you want to teach, and what things are most important to the step(I.e, for me, I always teach footwork first, arms second, nakhra third, shoulders fourth).2. Once you get the alignment, the biggest thing is to try to teach yourself how you do the step. For example, I teach myself faslan footwork or a friend faslan footwork, and puzzle out what angles I want. Its very important you do this as you don't want to stray esoteric when describing a step, but really build up from nitty gritty.3. Repetition. Don't coach them right away, but put them through the motions. Teaching a new person a step should take about an hour and a half. You don't want the steps to not be how you want them to do it, because all of the steps you listed and a few others are building blocks for a good bhangra dancer. If you keep coaching them, also, they are liable to get confused and mix things up.4. Stay positive. Its going to be really hard, and it takes a certain attitude from a teacher to get dancers to do well. Always coddle the newbies and be really happy when they do things right and make them feel that their always doing things right and need small adjustments. A lot of time new people have difficulty picking it up due to a lack of comfort level, etc, and this can overcome it.5. Repeat the same formula you use onto other people. Builds up your comfort level and person A and person B who learned from you can talk or meet up with each other since you taught the same thing. Get rid of any differences and, if one is brought up, highlight it and explain why you don't do it like that(wide arms = look big).6. Send them videos, but keep their expectations real. Don't sell them on something if they don't want to be sold, and keep it small. Furthermore, keep the expectation level fluid so that fast learners have some more initiative and etc.I point a lot of these things out because of the simple fact that people don't think about a lot of points. A lot of people may add on to what I said, but it's great to add your own ideas to the pool. Just keep in mind a lot of the teaching is 50% the approach and 50% actual dancing. Good Luck!!
i volunteer at my academy so i have a little bit of insight on how to teach someone fresh out of the box.1.figure out how far they want to go. aree they doing it for recreation/workout, do they want to be able to dance at parties, or do they eventually want to compete.2. before you teach someone else. fix yourself. are your arms straight, do your legs go above your waist (dhamaal) constantly. they come to to learn and expect you to do what you preach.3. depending on the age (little kids) you might even have hold their hand and take their arm through the motion so they understand.following applies to people going for a team.1 the people going for a team need to match up to the level the guys on the team have. so when they get on stage there isn't one guy (the newbie) who looks like he's shell shocked2 train them (and all of your team members) into the ground, because the first time you get on stage and depending on the type of performence you will be a nerveous wreck or a guy with diarrhea running down his chadra. the training will help them keep going even if they dance mediocre they dont stop and that will help them shake off their stage fright. or even if your a veteran you train long and hard until you can do the routine in your sleep you will come out of the worst of it with min damage to the routine or the team ranking
