Teaching the Teachers Workshop led by Kerry Fletcher
Would you be interested in joining our friendly pool of volunteers, and helping with
dance tuition on club nights? If so, this workshop is for you!
The Pied à Terre committee has booked Kerry Fletcher to run a workshop for
members who are interested in teaching French dance at the club. The aim is to
build up pool of volunteers who can help with tuition at Pied à Terre on a club night.
This could involve teaching a dance to the club as a whole, but might also include
supporting small groups and individuals, particularly new members.
Kerry is a fantastic and inspiring dance tutor herself, and will be sharing her
expertise with us to help improve our skills and confidence as dance tutors.
The workshop will include:
- Warming up (why and how)
- Explaining dance moves in different ways to reach people’s different learningstyles, and understanding what those are
- Demonstrating tips
- Working with the music
- Etiquette and inclusion
Pied à Terre will subsidise the event, but there will be a small charge – TBC.
Places are limited, and will need to be booked in advance. Priority will be given to regular Pied à Terre members who are interested in joining our volunteer teaching pool.
If you want to join the workshop, or would like more information, please speak to Catherine Hastings at the next Pied à Terre evening. Alternatively, you can contact her via info@piedaterre.me.uk
