This online course brings together the complete content of Dance for PD's 2024 Advanced Training and Professional Development Workshop, originally presented over three immersive days at the Mark Morris Dance Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Whether you participated in the live event and are revisiting the material, or are joining us for the first time online, this course offers an opportunity to deepen your practice through thoughtful reflection, practical exploration, and inspiring conversations with leaders in the field.
Designed for experienced Dance for PD teachers, this course invites you to refine your teaching, challenge familiar assumptions, and expand your creative and pedagogical toolkit. Rather than focusing solely on what we teach, these sessions encourage us to examine how and why we teach, continually returning to the artistic values that define Dance for PD.
Across the course, you'll explore topics including: Revisiting core Dance for PD principles through a fresh and critical lens:
- Integrating music and rhythm
- Developing comfort and skill in facilitating improvisatory activities
- Adapting choreographic repertory for a Dance for PD setting
- Evidence-informed perspectives from leading clinicians and researchers
- Exploring the business side: Marketing and Development
Presenters include Dr. Connie Tomaino, Pat Hall, David Leventhal, Julie Worden, Michelle Amador, Dr. Rebecca Barnstaple, Claudia Rahardjanoto, and Mor Mendel.
