Finally, things are moving on, and I am happy to announce one of a few news!
I am glad to join ISTD as Lecturer to deliver programmes of study to student teachers studying Level 6 Diploma in Dance Pedagogy. I can’t wait to be working with a group of international practitioners keen to improve their teaching skills.
The Diploma in Dance Pedagogy is delivered through lecture-based seminars and practical dance intensives with mentor support from experienced practitioners between taught sessions. The qualification provides experienced dance teachers and professional dancers with a programme that builds on previous training, knowledge and experience. It will take teaching to the next level and enhance dance skills. The DDP is regulated at Level 6, equivalent to the final year of an undergraduate degree.
