[header] How to impress your dance teacher [title] Introduce yourself. [step] When you begin taking a new dance class, make a point of introducing yourself to the instructor. Not only is this polite, but it sets you apart from other students and creates a rapport with the teacher. 
Make sure to introduce yourself at a moment that is convenient to the instructor (i.e. not right when they are trying to start the class, or when they are busy with another student).
