Have you got some rest and relaxation planned for the holidays or a busy time with family and friends? Whatever you are doing over the festive season I hope you manage to find some time to recharge your batteries ready for the new year.

Dance teachers often manage to fit in some CPD reading or updating of understanding during holiday seasons. Do you have some reading or CPD planned? Reflective practice is something that you might be giving some attention to when you are away from your usual day-to-day teaching practice. Reflection with a purpose is a great way to reflect back and consider what worked well in your teaching this year and how you plan to build on this in the coming year.

I am aiming to get some writing done that I have had on my desk for far too long. There are also a couple of books that I want to dip into some more before sharing some thoughts about them here on the blog.

Whatever you have planned for Christmas and the New Year enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.

Warmest wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2014.
