Designed with you in mind
Perfect for busy individuals who have limited time to participate in a scheduled training workshop - or those in more remote areas - our brand new hybrid On Demand Training utilizes video modules, written supporting resources, assessments, online discussions, a demo class and a live practicum to provide you with valuable skills that mirror exactly the same information and knowledge transfer you would receive in one of our in-person workshops.
Every course participant receives on-going virtual access to one of our training facilitators/mentors throughout the process, as well as a personalized practicum session where you can work one-on-one with an experienced trainer.
In this course, you'll explore the unique benefits of dance for those with Parkinson's, learn practical teaching strategies, and gain insights into creating inclusive and engaging dance classes. Whether you're a seasoned dance instructor or new to teaching, this course will provide you with the knowledge and tools to create meaningful experiences for your students.
Anyone participating in the On Demand course can also access any in-person training for an additional fee of only $75.
