Teacher Training | Fundamentals
This training blends movement exploration, improvisation, and practical teaching strategies with insightful discussions on accessibility, communication, and adaptability. Whether you’re new to inclusive dance or looking to deepen your skills, this course will give you the skills to lead with confidence.
Candoco will support teachers / facilitators to:
- Create accessible lesson plans for your practice
- Identify and address participant barriers and access in dance
- Explore movement translation and teaching approaches for diverse needs
- Explore fundamental disability theory
- Adapt the learnings to their own teaching needs
What You will Gain:
- Practical strategies to make your teaching more inclusive
- A deeper understanding of Candoco’s teaching philosophy
- Confidence in working with diverse participants
This training will be led by our Co-Artistic Director Dominic Mitchell and a Candoco Teaching Artist (CTA).
Suitable for teachers working in dance, performing arts, community and education settings. Prior teaching experience not required, but recommended. It supports those just beginning to learn how to become more inclusive in their practice.
No prior experience with inclusive dance is required – just a passion for teaching and a willingness to explore new ways of moving!
