Teachers' and Performers' Forum
Sat 11th October 10am to 12 noon
Click HERE for details.
Just to let you know that the teachers forum is definitely happening Sat 11th October 10am to 12 noon at the village hall in Fotheringhay. Drinks at the pub afterwards! (across the road!)
Cost £6.50 for forum.
Therefore, if you'd like to come, can you please let me know what you will be preparing i.e. what style of dance or with which area you are wanting help.
For example, to start the ball rolling, I'm working on a sword dance and would like help with an exciting introduction and can't find an appropriate way of hiding my sword...! I've looked at some ways and would like to show you, so you can tell me what looks best!
Also, I'm interested in any tips for safe warm up for dance classes, as it is 6 years since I did any training regarding safe warm ups.
So.... what you needing help with? Please confirm by 25th September.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing you soon.
Best Regards,
Karen
