Today, our own amazing Dance Instructor and Studio Manager, Mario Recoba, tells us about his experience performing for the first time with students as a Professional Dancer.
Mario became a Dance Instructor at Daza Dance about 10 Years ago at their Buckhead location in Atlanta. Shortly after, he performed with his new students at one of the studios’ showcases called “Who Done it”
The theme was a murder mystery and he had to dance and play characters.
He danced as a robber, a psychiatrist patient and even as a baby; yes… A Baby… with diapers and everything. With the help of more experienced Instructors, he was able to improve his own dancing skills while learning how to teach his students their routine, and without letting the pressure take the fun away.
Today, Mario remembers being extremely nervous that day; he tells us how important it was for him to show his dance level at the same standards of the other dance Instructors, plus ensuring that his students were having fun and feeling good.
He explains that “…Playing a character was way out of [his] comfort zone, but thanks to the support of the whole Daza Dance community I was able to accomplish it and fully enjoy this experience...”.
So, next time you want to challenge yourself on the dance floor, remember the Daza Dance community is next to you… every step of the way.
