Marizete isn’t only a great dance teacher but also a community builder who takes her students to live music events to further encourage their learning. Her classes go way beyond the studio room.
In fact, I could write a very emotional testimony on how learning forró with Marizete opened a new world to me and changed my life forever. But, as a starter not at all familiar with dancing, I also searched for an objective explanation of what made her seem such a great teacher to me. I’ve found it in “The Little Book of Talent”, by Daniel Coyle, which teaches how to improve skills of any kind. According to the book, a good teacher is someone who
1) watches you closely
2) is action oriented
3) is honest on her feedback
4) gives short, clear, individualized directions
5) loves teaching fundamentals
I can tell you that Marizete meets all those requirements. Above all, the book says, a good teacher is the one who never let you rest on your comfortable zone. I’ve tried doing that many times with Marizete, just to see her presenting me with a new challenge.
