The following questions will be covered:

• Should teachers continue to make physical corrections?
• Can progress be achieved without exerting excessive pressure?
• How do I deal with the expectations of parents whose child is intended to dance a leading role?

This seminar offers an in-depth look at the ethical, responsible and professional aspects of teaching dance. Dance educators from the region are given the opportunity to share their experiences and enrich their teaching practice.
