How To Give Feedback To Another Student

/

by Brigitta Winkler, Oxygen Guest Faculty

To give feedback is difficult. And, good feedback is one of the best sources for successful learning.

Student-to-student feedback does not judge right or wrong. Nor do we deal with guilt. Poorly or badly given feedback can not only slow down but sometimes it shuts down a learning process all together...or leads into other scenes. Feedback should be never forced on a person who is not open for it.

Feedback is simply a message that informs you how your behavior is received by others. In movement and dance this means usually: "how does it feel?" In partner dance, we use feedback to improve the experience in the given relationship -- because, it can be completely different with someone else.

Here are helpful questions to explore with your partner as a door-way into feedback:

• What helps to achieve what we want ?

• Is it comfortable ?

• What do I miss ?

• Where am I surprised ?

• What do I need, to feel better ?
