Recording video lessons

Shot composition

• Good light. Use proper lighting equipment or shoot in bright daylight near a window.
• Clean space. Remove anything distracting from the frame — especially when filming at home.
• Stay in frame. Make sure your hands, feet and head are never cropped. Check the framing before every take.

Format and quality

• Strictly horizontal (landscape) video — no vertical clips.
• 4K resolution at 60 fps for crisp picture and smooth motion.
• Record original footage only — no clips with social-media watermarks.

Your look on camera

• Dress well, look fresh — clean hair, neat outfit.
• Ideally wear Everdance-branded apparel.
• Dress on-brand for the dance style you're teaching.

Music

• Use license-free music only. We give every instructor access to EpidemicSound — write to us to get your invite.
• Lay the music on top of your voice-over in post.

Workout length

• A training session should be at least 10 minutes long.
• The exact duration depends on the workout type — 10–15 minutes is a solid baseline.

Intro and outro (required)

Every workout must include both blocks.

Intro (before the training session)

• Greet the student.
• Explain what kind of training this is and what goals it solves.
• Give any instructions students need before they start.

Outro (after the training session)

• Make it emotional — praise the student for finishing.
• Share your thoughts about the session.
• Motivate them to keep training with you.

Gear

• Camera or phone capable of 4K 60 fps.
• Tripod or stable surface — camera at chest / waist height, full body in frame, horizontal.
• External or lavalier mic for clean voice-over.
