  • Would love your brilliance with some assistance with Core Values statements – these for the International Argentine Tango academy. Are they repetitive? Are they in the right direction?? Thoughts and feedback please!

    Education
    Community
    Empowerment
    Cultural expansion

    We believe that a successful tango academy supports a community and its…Read More

    • This is great as is and you can run with it. If you want to take it a level deeper – what else can you say besides “classes, workshops, retreats”. What are 3 steps (that are an experience and can tap into emotion and the results ) that people will go through instead of “classes, workshops, retreats” for your second line about bodies can learn.

      • @amymshannonhernandez-com thank you – are there examples of what you mean “3 steps”? Are you saying that I state that we believe in these 3 steps? or words like transformation, growth, discovery, connection?
        Because ultimately they want to learn to dance… right? will people wonder if they will??? lol!!!!

      • or something like this do you mean: We believe that a successful tango academy supports a community and its journey of discovery, growth, expansion, and connection.

    • This is terrific.

      I would move “We believe in creating dancers not just students.” Maybe as the 2nd statement. It is simple, beautiful & clear.

      The learning statement I think can be written in slightly 2 different versions.
      1. – We believe that all bodies can learn argentine tango. Classes, workshops, retreats, and cultural immersions all ser…Read More

      • These are great Suggestions @joel. I like the 1st one best and I wonder about using the word “wonderful” – it feels a little empty…. does it?

        • Maybe, I wanted some descriptor to give it a little more flavor. You could use “joyful”, some other word, or leave it as is.

    • I would change the second one: We believe that all bodies can learn argentine tango for practice, growth, improvement and self-expression.

  • After a terrific consult, I came up w/ these 3 Core Value Statements. Many Thanks to today’s pod people, Kerstin Peters, Susan Lazar Hart & Ann James

    – CONNECTION – I believe that the more our conscious & unconscious connect (align), the better we are able to access the vast array of resources within us

    – FLOW – I believe when mind & body w…Read More

    • I love these! So clear! wow..

    • Joel – these are really clear and the fact you got it down to 3 is super impressive!

      I like the use of the word align in your connect statement.

      Suggested change to RESILIENCY for clarity in reading – I believe in our ability to be resourceful and bounce back, regardless of the curve balls life throws us. This invaluable trait can be m…Read More

      • Thank you Safrianna, great rewrite. And you just gave me a high-level problem because a friend & I just spent a couple of hours w/ a difficult photo/text editor. Now I am going to have to go in again, and plug in your lovely suggestion. 🙂

  • BRConservatory core values
    We believe in…
    EASE: Music learning can be approachable, pain-free, and joyful.
    EXPRESSION: You have something to say and music is a beautiful and fun way to say it.
    MASTERY: The technical aspect of music is learnable. The spirit is already in you–we’ll [give you the tools to translate it through your voice/instrument…Read More

    • I love the Core Value statements for EASE & EXPRESSION.
      The MASTERY statement feels off. Why aren’t all skills something that people deserve to excel at?
      I think there is a better way to say this or something else that wants to be expressed.
      Not sure this isn’t repetitive or long (there might be better words to use). MASTERY: Music is a…Read More

    • These are great! I feel that in Stewardship – you don’t need to state “when possible”.

    • I am confused on what the “Not Methods” means in: We teach students (not methods) with kindness, honesty, and creativity.

      • Ah, right! I mean we don’t teach a specific methodology or system (like the Suzuki method) at the expense of the student. I’ll work on that language.

        • Is this better? CONNECTION: We create customizable learning plans (?) for each student using kindness, honesty, and innovation.

          • OR– CONNECTION: We encourage [or a firmer word like guide or lead] individuals to achieve their goals using kindness, honesty, and creativity. [Do I add details about parents being able to observe their children’s lessons, all our teachers having gone through background checks, etc.?]
