# How to edit a video for dance workshop

Turn instructor demonstrations and class footage into a story for dance studio owners. Introduce the next confirmed event while showing the experience available in the previous-event footage.

[The Shorty team](https://shortyedit.com/about#editorial-team) · Updated 15 September 2026

## Key takeaways

- Introduce the next confirmed event while showing the experience available in the previous-event footage.
- Open with the instructor demonstrating a sequence.
- Use the correct class level and schedule; preserve complete movements when a step is explained.
- Your next brief could focus on a lineup announcement with performer footage or a venue-first event invitation.

## Give the video a clear purpose

Introduce the next confirmed event while showing the experience available in the previous-event footage.

Think about what dance studio owners need the viewer to understand first. Use the opening to establish that idea, then let the next shots add detail.

## Build your shot list

- The studio with room to move
- The instructor demonstrating a sequence
- A clear footwork detail
- Participants following the demonstration
- The class completing the sequence

## Put the moments in order

Open with the instructor demonstrating a sequence. Connect it to participants following the demonstration and the studio with room to move, then use a clear footwork detail to add detail. Finish with the class completing the sequence.

One event name, one verified date and one ticket message; label previous-event imagery when needed.

## Try this editing prompt

Create a 20-second vertical video from my instructor demonstrations and class footage. Open with the instructor demonstrating a sequence, follow with participants following the demonstration, the studio with room to move, a clear footwork detail, and finish with the class completing the sequence. One event name, one verified date and one ticket message; label previous-event imagery when needed.

## Polish the details

Use the correct class level and schedule; preserve complete movements when a step is explained.

## Give the next version a clear direction

Change the closing date to the supplied replacement and keep the opening performance sequence.

## Find another story in the same shoot
