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!

@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?
-
![Profile picture of JoelElfman]()
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

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![Profile Photo]()

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-

All this! Wonderful. Will brainstorm a little more and let it simmer overnight.

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

Right–thanks!

I am confused on what the “Not Methods” means in: We teach students (not methods) with kindness, honesty, and creativity.
-
![Profile picture of RuthRoland]()
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.
-
![Profile picture of RuthRoland]()
Is this better? CONNECTION: We create customizable learning plans (?) for each student using kindness, honesty, and innovation.
-
![Profile picture of RuthRoland]()
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.?]

Anyone having trouble adding a profile photo, go to Members in the top menu, then choose Settings. Choose the green Profile Avatar and go from there. I found two other places to add photos before I landed on that one. 😅

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.
