• Should teachers continue to make physical corrections?
• How can progress be made without excessive pressure?
• How do I deal with the expectations of parents whose child is expected to play a leading role?

This seminar will offer in-depth insight into the ethical, responsible and professional aspects of teaching dance. Dance pedagogues from the region will have the opportunity to share their experiences and enrich their teaching practice.

Why participate?

Creating a safe, supportive and ethical learning environment is of paramount importance to today's dance teaching landscape.
