This half-day practical workshop will introduce the RAD’s Seated Swans resource. The resource has been created to give Silver Swans Licensees examples of appropriate exercises which can be adapted and made relevant for Licensee’s individual learners.

This workshop will give Licensees an opportunity to work through the exercises in analytical detail for the purpose of preparing them to deliver the exercises to their own Silver Swans, if they so choose. The content can be tailored to fit the needs of each Silver Swans class, based on Licensee’s knowledge of their Silver Swans. Participants will have an opportunity to create content which can be shared and explored with peer discussion and feedback. This is not a compulsory syllabus.

Aim

The aims of this workshop are:

  • to provide practical experience of teaching the Seated Swans resource,
  • to provide extension activities based on strengthening and stretching for healthy adults and older adults, and
  • to provide practical experience of creating exercises and activities to suit a range of participants, with attention to safe practice.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of the workshop, you will:

  • have an increased understanding of creating a chair based dance class for adults and older adults, and
  • have a greater understanding of how dance, stretching and strengthening can be taught in an interactive, accessible and inclusive manner, allowing access to those who may find a whole standing class too challenging, and introducing extension work for able adults.
