Course design
Sessions are pre-recorded, to follow in your own time within a broad overall time-limit. Each tutorial is followed by a quiz to reinforce your understanding as you progress through the material. Interactive resources, labelling, colouring, and video tutorials, cover a range of learning styles. The resources section provides additional material in the form of PDFs, video links and recommended reading tasks, to reinforce your learning. Completion of the final questions qualifies you a certification of completion
Bridging Theory and Practice in Dance Education
All courses focus on turning learned theoretical knowledge into practical application and can be immediately integrated into your teaching. Whatever genre you teach the same principles of training the "dancing body and mind" will be beneficial to you and your students.
Optimising Performance Through Dance Science
I am Cheryl Leslie-Spinks, the founder and course provider of Dance Science in Dance Teaching. You can find out more about my professional qualifications by visiting "About us". I am passionate about integrating dance science and medicine research and anatomical principles into my own teaching, to optimise individual performance potential safely and effectively. I believe in a multidisciplinary and holistic approach to training that considers the dancer's body and mind, and incorporates anatomical and biomechanical principles, kinesiological knowledge, psychological aspects, and much more.
