Teacher Professional Learning: Responsive Dance Practice in the the Classroom

Educators will be introduced to a Gioia Girolamo, professional dancer’s process-based practice to explore the elements of dance. The workshop will unpack the transferrable skills in dance and how to apply them to curriculum and cross curriculum areas. The workshop will include sharing improvisation ideas and collaborative practices to make dance phrases that support students to feel a sense of mastery when practicing dance.
Whether you are an educator with existing dance skills or none, this workshop will deepen your capacity to explore any topic through non-verbal expressive means of dance.

A certificate of professional learning will be provided. This professional learning workshop will support you in demonstrating the following AITSL Australian Professional Standards for Teacher: 3.4, 4.1, 4.4, 6.4
