During this practical course, participating teachers will gain a detailed understanding of the steps and movements of each of the Advanced 1 (Female) and Advanced 2 (Female) levels.

Learning activities will focus on the development of correct technique through the progression of vocabulary, differences in music and style for each variation. The course will also provide the opportunity to discuss the related examination assessment criteria and exercises for the development of correct technique.

Aims

The aim of this course is to boost participants’ confidence in teaching the variations for the Advanced 1 (Female) and Advanced 2 (Female) syllabi variations through enhancing their knowledge and understanding of technique, style and musicality.
