Dance Consulting & Coaching
The term "coaching" nowadays is used and understood in very different ways.
Let's figure out the difference between the terms first among the services that I provide:
1) Wellness Coaching, Life Coaching & Business Coaching (check my wellness website www.lifeinglow.com)
Usually a life coach would not give advice or tell you what to do. It is a form of facilitating change and transformation.
It can also be called Transformational Coaching, such a coach also rarely shows expertise in a field assuming that he/she
does not need to be an expert of every field that clients specialize in to be able to help through guidance.
Most of the time a coach asks questions and mirrors, reflects what he/she understands from client's speech.
In some cases it is a Socratic dialogue, in others one of the coaching models would be used to "structure" the session.
Style of coaching vary as well depending on the practitioner and client's requests (the topic of the consultation).
I add Metaphorical Associative Cards (MACards) and occasionally arts techniques to help the client to connect to the
subconscious mind rather than only use their conscious mind. It usually helps a lot in various decision-making,
emotional balance and other types of goals.
Let's say someone wants to dance yet is shy by nature or an introvert and it takes them weeks, months to get that 1st step and go to a dance class. or they did go yet gave up fast after, e.g. if you are an HSP and not a Sensation Seeker, it can be a bit overwhelming and intimidating at first (I am an HSP btw).
Or maybe you do not like the RULES of social dance etiquette or how people commutate, perhaps you've been sitting as a wallflower most of the milognas,
yet you still want to do social dancing. What can be done? Here Life coaching and Counselling (and occasionally even therapy like Emotion-Image therapy and Art Therapy could be very beneficial as methods of short-term therapy / counselling or coaching).
For coaching though it is more common to have a series of sessions, as results would be more significant.
It give better accountability and helps in learning process.
2) Dance Coaching - is a different thing, it is more of a training a student / client in a particular dance style
For example, you are an actor in a short or feature film and you have a few weeks to learn some dance to look like a pro.
is it realistic? Not always. it is possible to improve? Definitely! if you can devote enough time to the classes and practice.
Specifics of partner social dancing is that IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO. Same about kizomba, zouk, fusion or any other partner social dance. One partner is usually a leader (no matter what gender) and another is a follower. Occasionally people can do both roles and even swap roles during the dance (which is more of a creative alternative approach rather than a norm - I for example can both follow and lead in tango, and enjoy occasionally role swapping, however in some communities it might not be common and even considered more as an expression of "queer tango", even if it has nothing to do with sexual orientation.
To sum up:
Dance Consulting - is answering questions about dance, dance community, and the learning process, shoes etc.
Dance Coaching - helping a student to move forward with their learning and get to their desired (realistic and concrete - SMART) goal within a certain time frame.
In both these types of services usually it is expected that the Dance Coach and Dance Consultant is an expert in a particular style of dance, and knows specifics f the field.
3) YouTube Consulting & Coaching - definition of terms is similar to 2)

As you might know I have a background in photography & media.
In the last 2 years I've learned a lot about youtube (for business & projects).
My story with YouTube:
I have a few accounts on YouTube (as many of us do) for posting videos once in a while. In spring 2019 I started developing Life in Glow Wellness channel on YouTube for 1.5 years, it was learning the hard way!
Meanwhile kept learning on how YouTube works, observing many channels grow and some fail and quit / freeze their projects.
Now I'd be glad to share some tips for channel growth with other aspiring creators (currently learning more insider tips through a course from a very experienced & efficient YouTube creator).
When you know nuances of the platform and do some things in the best way from the start it might be much easier to rank videos in YouTube algorithm and grow the channel's community easier following a certain proved step-by-step process.
Astrology consultations for selecting a good day for registration a website are also available.
(part of that research I do myself and on some collaborate with a colleague astrologer).
