Seated Swans: Chair Based Dance CPD Workshop (London, UK)

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. For the practical elements of the workshop, examples will be given for differentiation through task and outcome offered to suit a range of potential participants. A variety of musical options will be explored for their various benefits. Participants will then have a chance to create content which can be shared and explored with the opportunity for peer discussion and feedback.

Aims

The aims of this workshop are to provide practical experience of teaching the Seated Swans resource, and to explore chair based dance exercises.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of the workshop, you will:

• have a greater understanding of the Seated Swans resource, and
• have an increased understanding of how to create a chair based dance class for adults and older adults.

Licensees who book onto the workshop will receive a discount offer for the new Silver Swans resources. You can find the discount code in your booking confirmation email.
