I've been struggling with this question for some time now. I see posts about "Master Classes" from studio Alumni who are coming home after a year and a half of college. I come across websites from companies offering "Master Classes" being taught by 12 year olds from Dance Moms or 17 year olds from SYTYCD. Webster's defines a master as "a person eminently skilled in something, an occupation, art, or science." Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe mastery involves the mind as much as the body. It's not just being able to perform the art, but being able to effectively teach the proper technique to execute movement in a way that is healthy and safe; to be able to help a student achieve the next level of mastery themselves; to inspire and motivate a dancer to challenge themselves and overcome obstacles. Now, not everyone is as great a teacher as they are a dancer. And not every amazing teacher is a phenomenal dancer. But being a master of the physical art does not a master teacher make.
I'm almost 40 years old. I've been tap dancing for 35 years and studying and training in everything else for 28. I've got a college degree, have had a decent professional career both as a performer and choreographer and I've been teaching on and off for over 20 years; full time now for 11 years. I still, to this day, have a hard time calling myself a "master teacher." I call my classes workshops or have myself called a guest teacher. To be honest, I suppose it's not really up to me to decide if I'm a master or not, but I can guarantee you that the folks I spoke of above are definitely not.
So here's the question. How do we define a master teacher? What criteria do you feel delineates a MASTER TEACHER from a guest artist? At what point in one's career can the transition be made? What event or time frame of experience qualifies us to make that shift? We must find a way to separate the people who have given their entire lives to their art from those who are just beginning. Those who have experienced all aspects of what it means to be a dancer from those who are still figuring out how to get started. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter and I hope that going forward, we can use the phrase Master Class sparingly. It should be reserved for those teachers who really are masters of their craft.
Jason Marquette is the Owner and Managing Director of MPower Dance Workshops; an in-studio convention designed to show young dancers how their training is preparing them for success in life. Our NYC Summer Intensive is a 5 day event from August 15th – 19th. It's focused on helping dancers accept and love where they are in their personal journey through life and the art of dance so that they can overcome the obstacles directly in front of them and reach their full potential.

ISLAMABAD – The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police submitted a detailed report on Mashal Khan's lynching to the Supreme Court of Pakistan on Tuesday. The report was submitted in the apex court by Mardan RPO Alam Khan Shinwari. According to sources, the report
ISLAMABAD – The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police submitted a detailed report on Mashal Khan's lynching to the Supreme Court of Pakistan on Tuesday.
The report was submitted in the apex court by Mardan RPO Alam Khan Shinwari.
According to sources, the report states that the university administration made a telephone call to Mardan police at 12:52 PM on April 13 and asked them to reach the campus, without mentioning the incident.
After the call, Mardan DSP Haider Khan reached the university and saw an angry mob torturing Mashal Khan's friend, Abdullah. DSP Haider Khan intervened and rescued Abdullah, the report states, adding that police had obtained call data records of Abdullah as well as the CCTV footage of the incident.
The report mentions that the lynching survivor Abdullah recorded his statement under CRPC 164, in which he said the university administration was unhappy with Mashal and had initiated an inquiry against Mashal over allegations of blasphemy on the day of the killing.
'Abdullah was summoned by the inquiry committee on April 13 and was forced to testify against Mashal, but he refused. Abdullah was then shut in a bathroom' the report quotes his statement.
It bears mentioning that Mashal Khan, a student of Mass Communication was lynched at his Abdul wali Khan university campus premises by a violent mob that accused him of committing blasphemy while another student Abdullah was injured.
On April 16, Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar took suo moto notice of the murder and directed Inspector General Police KP Salahuddin Khan Mehsud to present a report on the incident within the next 36 hours.
So far, 22 individuals have been arrested in the murder case, including six employees of the university.
A suspect in the lynching of Mashal Khan, identified as Wajahat, confessed in a statement recorded before the magistrate yesterday and placed blame on the administration of the university.
He claimed the administration had called the meeting to decide the case of Mashal Khan but the situation got out of hand when he testified against the three students and the security in-charge, named Bilal Baksh, came to the meeting and warned "that anyone taking the side of Mashal and his comrades would be dealt with iron hands."
Wajahat added that Bilal had said he would kill Mashal. Following Bilal's statement the sitting congress turned into a violent mob and rushed towards the hostel that ultimately led to Mashal's lynching.

In the heart of the Poitou Charentes countryside, 60km south of Saumur and the Loire is the large, picturesque, medieval village of Airvault. Here we offer a warm relaxed welcome at The Voltaire Chambres and Table dHotes in our 19th Century mansion home. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and its wide array of wildlife, a plethora of sights and activities to suit all and within easy access of several airports, Poitiers TGV station and the A10 we are conveniently situated for holidays, house hunters and stopovers.
Description of The Voltaire Bed & Breakfast:Situated in the heart of the Poitou Charentes countryside, 60 km south of the Loire is the large, picturesque, medieval village of Airvault. Here Jo Cottrell offesr a warm relaxed welcome at 'The Voltaire' Bed and Breakfast in their 19th Century mansion home.
The Voltaire, located near the centre of Airvault, has 4 large individually styled and furnished double and twin bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. The emphasis of 'the Voltaire` is that you have an enjoyable and comfortable stay with us whether it is for 1 night, a couple of days, a week or more. The benefit from the 'soft' air and comfort of The Voltaire has resulted in guests sleeping for longer than they expected! As a result of this breakfast can be served as late as 12pm.
Each of our guest bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom with bath and shower over it. Luxuriously thick bath sheets and hand towels are supplied, together with handmade soaps. The bedrooms all have either a kingsize bed or twin single beds and are provided with 100% cotton bed linen and high thread count soft Egyptian cotton duvet covers. The mattresses are deep sprung to provide the right level of support and comfort. We can put a temporary bed in your room to accommodate a child under 12. All rooms have ample space to store or hang your clothes, as well as easy chairs.
There is also a cosy library, with an open fire lit in winter, which has a selection of books and board games available, and a sitting room styled in a cooler manner which has a more tranquil atmosphere.
Of course when the weather is suitable the outside space is there to be enjoyed. The walled garden at the rear of the property enjoys the early morning sun which provides an ideal place to enjoy breakfast on the lawn. As the sun moves round the garden goes into shade during the hottest part of the day so that it remains cooler. The area in the front of the house, where there is a raised swimming pool (warmer months only), enjoys the sun throughout the day and is a real sun trap.
Breakfast is continental with freshly locally baked croissants and baguettes, Airvault honey and homemade marmalade and conserves, fruit juice, coffee, tea and chocolate.
Evening meals are available on request, and include 4 courses, wine and / or soft drinks and coffee for 22 euros per adult and 12 euros per child under the age of 12. We try to keep things seasonal and local, so your fare will vary from day to day and according to the time of year. Should you require, we can also provide picnics with prior notice.
In this idyllic and unspoilt part of France we benefit from very high annual sunshine levels, second only to the Côte d'Azur, and the added beauty of being in the heart of the largest sunflower growing region in France.
Being on the edge of a village, with its stunning architecture, most amenities are available within a short walk, including bakeries, butchers shops, restaurants and bars, banks (with cash machines), a chemist and a market every Saturday morning selling local produce.
Surrounded by historic towns and villages, beautiful countryside and swimming lakes as well as large attractions such as Futuroscope - the virtual reality theme park, Vallée des Singes - the monkey park where you can roam with the monkeys, Puy du Fou - the medieval theme park with their various spectaculars and La Venise Verte - Marais Poitevins intricate waterway system that can be explored by flat bottomed boats. Also being only 60 km south of the Loire valley, there are the many chateaux and vineyards to be explored. This is just a small taster of what the area has to offer and more details can be found on our website.
We have unlimited free WiFi access. Online real time bookings are available via our website

Many women are led to accept by aeon and the media that they charge a man who is abject and passive. In reality, if they had the adventitious to analyze or anticipate for themselves, they would adopt a man who is self-assured, and direct. However, they may never accept to this, as over the decades amusing engineering has led humans to anticipate it is amiss for men to be absolute and assured and they should display added acute and adjustable traits.
Indeed, women who accept the alleged alpha macho are generally banal in films and television dramas as getting beneath stable, added abandoned and accepting hostile, sexist attitudes appear their adolescent females. They are about depicted as preferring concise accord and indulging in frequent, uncommitted animal activity. Acutely this is not so. Abounding of the a lot of successful, abiding relationships are area the man and woman complex are agreeable to portray their adult and feminine roles and acknowledge anniversary added for these actual traits. A abstraction by sociologists at the University of Washington begin that couples who chase acceptable gender roles about the abode – wives accomplishing the cooking, charwoman and shopping, men accomplishing the DIY and advancement the car – appear greater animal frequency. A approved sex activity is accepted to be advantageous for your apperception and body.
It does appears that in contempo years men accept been emasculated. They are frequently abashed as to the behaviour accepted of them. At some point this century, assaulted by a hard-headed, feminist, politically actual group, abounding absitively it was time to stop getting adult and authenticate their close woman instead. Simply put, getting a man has become unfashionable.
But has adequation for women appear at the amount of masculinity? If getting candidly adult is beheld as sexist, what charcoal of a man bald of his gender appearance is arguably sexless. Is androgyny a absolute gender adaptation?
So what or who is the alpha male? A man who has aplomb in his adulthood and attendance is generally referred to as an alpha. There is acutely a calibration in account of alpha macho ancestry an alone man can demonstrate. In my assessment a accurate alpha macho has abounding positives including the afterward qualities.
He is in ascendancy of his character, in that he knows his strengths and recognises his weaknesses. He displays upfront honesty.
He is defended in all areas of his activity and enjoys allowance and educating others in adjustment to empower. Not fearing competition.
He always seeks to advance his academician and compassionate of the apple about him.
An Alpha macho is a accustomed leader. He can be relied aloft to accommodate administration if needed, as he has a accustomed adeptness to break problems.
He understands that advance will appear if you footfall out of your abundance area and he will readily do this.
The media will characterise him as:
A man who needs to accretion as abundant ability and ascendancy as he can and abduct both from a woman.
An advancing and arrogant man.
Ruthless, intimidating, and confrontational.
Arrogant, adamant and over opinionated.
If you accede the media's connected efforts to blast absolute angle apropos alpha males it becomes bright that amusing engineers accept an calendar in which it has invested abundant time, accomplishment and money over the years. It was they who created the feminist movement. Third beachcomber feminists abide the attack to alter the adult male.
Devoid of alpha males, communities and families become easier to alter and control. The around-the-clock breakdown of the acceptable ancestors assemblage can be attributed to the emasculation of males and the consistent disability to accumulation the ancestors with a acceptable bedmate and ancestor role. Rather than a ancestors demography affliction of its own needs the accompaniment has to arbitrate added and more, appliance added ascendancy over the children, defining and free their abode in the apple and ensuring they never acceleration aloft that pre-ordained position or anticipate for their selves.
It is time the acquiescent macho was disregarded. The alpha macho already afresh apparent as a absolute role archetypal for adolescent boys to attending up to and for women to choose. It is time acceptable ethics were already afresh recognised as the effective way to behave in society. Minority groups accustomed the chastened acceptance that reflects their basal numbers. Conventional roles charge to be upheld as the appreciative barometer and not as a dying, outmoded, backward choice.

I'd to share ... why with the government wanted sell cable companies what to charge for their products in the first place ... was a very good question and does for the record I voted against this ruling ... Mr Baucus twenty ten ... but um ... the the ostensible argue would be to protect consumers that ... somehow that Internet service providers ... would have an incentive ... to discriminate in anti competitive way against various forms of Internet content or applications ... tried to charge some people a certain amount of ... play favorites in turn to the people ... cluster matter nothing at all perhaps ... um that actually never happened of the FCC never conducted a market study ... of to look at this to diagnosed with another isn't a problem that needed the Turin ... aam and so ... support them now for the second time ... has ruled that to the MC does not have the authority Realty do what it did ... although there's little shred of authority that if the court is left behind okay so it's it's I can't last second loss in core here for the FCC ... on this issue ... who benefits most from this ruling ... I've that consumers do actually so I think it's best to have an unfettered internet it's best to ... allow the unit to be governed through a called the ... multi stakeholder model which is non governmental model ... there plenty of consumer protection laws on the books anti trust laws ... state and federal laws already on the books ... that should enter service providers ... Act an anti competitive way that harms consumers ... the government can still come down them like a hammer ... ah so we don't need a new body of law that would take years to ... to litigate again in the past in the works is ... that actually me and as you pointed out in your op ed this morning and when everybody do this in the pages of Wall Street Journal ... there's also and again there's also a in international frontier that the UN ... may want to regulate the Internet still in the coming months the commissioner ... I just was focused you back on the FCC what should this new chairman Tom Wheeler be focusing on if not the so-called net neutrality ... we'll hear a lot of other things in this place that are related to minute rally like getting more spectrum or radio waves in the hands of the consumers of mobile broadband services in ... a lot of other things so consider all those options ... you can try to appeal before Court of Appeals ... here in Washington ... the Oracle I'm bought her a flood of fresh new judges there ... who are the subject of the ... nuclear option the copper since then a few weeks ago he did try to appeal the Supreme Court ... to try to classify the broadband Internet access ... as the phone service essentially they're there for for grain ... old phone monopoly laws which are antiquated of your horrible idea but you can try to do that or you could easily or positive or constructive which is to ... assemble consumer protection agencies the Federal Trade Commission ... and other agencies of both the federal and state level ... to figure out what so what's in the government's arsenal ... to use against into servers providers if they misbehave okay well it's a long list former FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell ... thank so much for joining us ... why is the FBI not investigating the IRS for targeting conservative groups ... we got a lawyer joining us next to explain the depth of the abuses in this unfolding scandal ... speaking ... welcome back to Opinion Journal I'm Mary Kissel ... this newspaper reported earlier this week that the FBI is not currently planning to file criminal charges ... against the IRS for targeting conservative groups ... were very lucky to block an attorney clean Mitchell ... who represents some of these of these groups to tell us why this is such a scandal ... the clean up how many groups do you represent ... by representing an acre every year I have ... them applied that ... I know I get involved in this particular situation I ate a can of the past four years ... the story says that the FBI is still investigating this case and may still bring charges ... is anybody talk to you were to the groups that you represent ... not wanting to know one thing that really in trouble because ... they think I'm that that word the dueling somebody had been taken by ... the ... unlawful activity ... which attracted attention ... it made the grade and I read with great ... care and turned in touch with hundreds of tea party leaders around the country ... none of them ... know that they're turning ... no one has been contacted by the FBI ... he's dealt with the FBI before in your ... story here in Washington ... is this normal behavior ... it is ... not normal it completely out of work ... and in fact any body there with the TV cop show ... he added that the first thing that was important to retain it they didn't they can ... I ... well maybe maybe they don't wanna find out what happened entirely possible that this is political ... I e it's funny a little bit about the kinds of Debussy or clients experience ... I couldn't contact ... normally before two thousand and nine in a pickup in ... early twenty ten ... when you apply that demand application I read for ... a patent for either one the organization it would take anywhere from three weeks for a long time idling ... I think that hundred fifty per ticket around the country ... it took three or ... four years ... one group that kept the fire at that and I'm freaking out years later that ... month ago ... another trip ... to buy ... three half years ago and ... have it ... and in the last one step to your clients seeking to get justice if the FBI ... I is stonewalling this and not not really investigating ... well I think ... the court ... I ended litigation and we have been talking about the fact that we may ... only report may be ... the Iran's defeated official individually it be in for the Tories ... do anything ... I note that the ... government is trying to make these rules permanent ... and clean a ... quick answer ... I do you expect it to that that that effort to proceed ... when the IRA ... that obligated to have tribulation ... but the public comment period ended in the end of February ... the cake although I would think they were doing ... here in the tea party and all like that ... an expanded to everything and that an authentic life ... like trouble ... when will we hold the line till Joinus again on the show and keep this updated ... attorney clean Mitchell thank so much for joining us ... hence the Obama administration has the Obama is themselves influenced pop Coulter ... or the other way around ... not that entry here next States and ... welcome back to Opinion Journal I'm Mary Kissel ... what impact as President Obama had on popular culture ... or vice versa what influences he had won the presidency ... Advanced Institute fellow ten each or eight who is author of a new book what Jefferson read I watched an Obama ... meetings ... joining me now I'd ... so sadly ... he seems to be immersed in popular culture this prison when taxes ... well it comes to an early age he watched a ton of TV to see Cade ... in his own memoir he says that we came home from school ... he would listen to cartoons that he would watch sitcom reruns they would watch primetime TV than anyone was the top forty Lorraine so he has a deep understanding of pop culture ... and he influences of politically through his use of pop culture he goes on TV shows he makes pop Coulter references he wants is a ton of TV from ten pm one am the night ... and so he's really out there in the pop culture in a way that no other president has ever been so what influences is can have on the presidency going for his next press and a half to go one shale idle because ... President Ahmed to get a great question and in your correct to note that present Obama the first one to go along these late night shows as President Bill Clinton went with the saxophone and PRC Neil Khoshaba dust before he was president and mix in when I laughed and said sock it to me know very well ... but again does before his present Pres Obama has broken new ground in you wonder if future presidents will not only have to go on the shows ... but also show themselves to be as pop Coulter proficiency as he ... is a good thing for the presidency soon to say ... I'm just like you look at me I can I can crack a joke on one now and and and laugh about myself when you think ... I think there's a bifurcated answer I think it's good for presidents who can do it helps them get elected to it as political advantages ... but I'm not sure it's good for the presidency and think it's important for the presidency it remains a certain distance from moved from the American people ... to have a certain level of stature mind if you're out there ... going ahh cracking jokes in the show's ... been it does ... break that ... on that distance for free if you look close and the reason why trade with the cost of like it when you think about the serious beats the present Obama gave a few months ago has been a very serious issue about chemical weapons use it in Syria ... and it landed with a big thud and I have to wonder ... is the fact that he was still overexposed in the pop Coulter front ... lead to people saying you know when it's in the stuff I can see among Leno Letterman and are up to listen to him talking up his bummer of an issue of chemical weapons it says that I want the president spends watching TV or sports center ... ASA raise questions about how he spends is high and the anti EDT begrudge and the fact that he like me enjoys TV and it seems that worked pretty hard during the day I don't begrudge presidents their leisure time and in fact the whole book is about to put things Prosensa done in their leisure time may have reached a kind of a lot of people working for them so they have some time in the night ... but I think it's best to spend time in quiet reflection and contemplation I think reading series focuses George Dubya Bush did is Bill Clinton did it certainly is Adams and Jefferson didn't or did they have the TV ops of course ... I think that's important for thinking about what makes great government what makes ... beat the system that works for the people ... so I don't begrudge the present some TV but I wonder what choices he's making a macro perspective ... ok off into the Tri thanks much for joining us thinking ... you can follow us on Twitter email us at Opinion Journal live it WS J dot com or check this out on Facebook ... add WS J opinion ...
