May I join individual modules without taking part in the full program?
Yes, but you will not receive an achievement certificate. Please keep in mind that the information being covered in a single module may be the continuation or a review of material covered in previous modules. You might experience missing some key information. Also, the content of the individual modules are fluid and might not adhere exactly to the module description listed on this website. If you are interested in joining a single module, you are advised to use the seminar as an inspirational tool to enhance your dancing or the teaching that you already do. *Please contact us 3 weeks in advance so that we can give you a description of the upcoming module.
What happens if I am not able to participate in a module?
If you participate, we highly suggest that you make this program a high priority when you are scheduling your activities. If you miss a module due to illness, you will be able to repeat the missed module, if the teacher training takes place the following year. Because of the finely nuanced nature of this teacher training program, we have chosen not to offer modules in the form of online participation.
