Hi Ziah,

Not sure if this is helpful but I just had my first teen attend my Tribal Basics Level 1 class. She is 14, and came with her mom so I was not thinking about catering specifically to a teen audience and thus did really did not think about doing anything special for her until after class. She got bored and frustrated easily, and sat outside half the time. Mom had a great time.

Her mom and I managed to talk to her after class and she agreed to come back only after I gave her some one on one attention (which she really seemed to thrive on - at that age, if they are there and not sulking in their rooms trying to avoid all human contact, they really LOVE and need to be praised and the center of attention) and she is willing to come back, but I am not entirely sure how to be able to teach and encourage her as much as she might need and still give all the other students something enough attention as well.

I have never had a teen-only classes, but have had many teens in my regular classes, and it was great. I actually have three or four teens in my Monday classes right now. I love having them learn this dance at their age--so empowering!
