Narrative:

Student was 700 ft on short final. I took the aircraft and was demonstrating a power off to 'dead stick' landing. While performing and explaining the maneuver, I allowed the aircraft to descend too low for 'normal' recovery. As I recovered, we landed 'three point' and the nose gear collapsed as we touched down the second time. No injuries. Next time, I need to pay more attention to flying and less to teaching a student a new maneuver on short final.
