Canada's National Ballet School’s Annual Ideas Exchange for Dance Teachers
Evolving Best Practices in Dance Teaching | July 21-24
For more than 60 years, Canada's National Ballet School (NBS) has been at the forefront of pushing the envelope and evolving pedagogical approaches to dance and ballet training. At this year’s Ideas Exchange, participants will learn how dance teaching can evolve through the integration of the best in classical ballet training methods, the latest advances in the research and science of movement, and tools from other movement disciplines (like Gaga Movement classes and Iyengar Yoga training). NBS will also share how its progressive and unique approach to excellence in training translates to engaging a broader population in dance.
Workshop highlights:
- Engage in pedagogical seminars on Community Dance and how it can enrich studio best practices, followed by experiential learning and observation
- Integrate conditioning in creative ways: Floor barre, yoga
- Inspire artistic development in dancers
Daily schedule will include dance and movement workshops, ballet class observations, lectures and discussions, experiential learning and engagement.
