DAY 2 POST: Behind the Scenes: Setting Up for Class

A 15-30 second reel showing 'behind-the-scenes' of what goes into preparing for class before students arrive.

✅️ How to create the reel:

1. Before your next class, prop your phone up on a shelf or ask someone to film (vertical, not horizontal).

2. Film 3-4 short clips (5-10 seconds each): setting up props, turning on music, laying out mats, rehearsing chore, sweeping, or whatever you do before class.

3. End with a clip of kids walking in or the class starting.

4. Edit in CapCut , Edits (free app) or the in-app Instagram Reels editor. Add a trending audio track... don't overthink the editing - even one simple video with trending audio works perfectly.

5. Add text overlay: "Before your little ones arrive…" at the start.

✅️ Head to Claude.ai (or your preferred AI tool) and paste this prompt:

Write a search-optimised caption for my dance studio Reel showing behind-the-scenes footage of a teacher setting up for class before students arrive. Use this caption starter as inspiration: "Before your little ones arrive, here's what goes into making every class special..." Requirements:

- Write in a warm, authentic, behind-the-scenes tone that builds trust

- Show the care and effort that goes into every class

- Include 2-3 searchable keywords naturally (e.g. "dance classes for kids [your city]", "dance teacher", "behind the scenes dance studio")

- End with this call to action: [tag a dance parent or book a trial]

- Keep it under 200 words

PRO TIP: Film this once and you’ll have B-roll footage you can reuse for weeks. One filming session = multiple posts.

✅️ Publish (or schedule) the post and update your tracker
