# Event Details - **Event Name**: Radiant Spark Beyond Technique: The Missing Foundations Every Dance Teacher Should Know - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 18 Aug, 2026 at 09:30 am – Wed, 19 Aug, 2026 at 04:30 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: ✨ Radiant Spark Dance Teacher Workshop What if the biggest breakthrough in your teaching isn't another exercise to build strength or to stretch… but a new way of seeing your dancers? Every dance teacher has experienced it. A student who works incredibly hard but struggles with coordination, balance, alignment, turnout, artistry, or retaining corrections. We often assume they need more practice, more strength, or more discipline—but what if there are missing movement foundations preventing them from reaching their potential? The Radiant Spark Dance Teacher Workshop introduces a powerful lens for understanding how the body and brain work together to support learning, coordination, confidence, and technical development. Drawing on nearly 40 years of teaching experience and extensive training in Brain Dance, developmental movement, Brain Gym, rhythmic movement, and dance pedagogy, Mariah-Jane Thies will share practical, evidence-informed strategies that you can begin using immediately in your own classes. This workshop is specifically for dance teachers who can attend the sessions live. Together, we'll explore the material in real time, with opportunities for discussion, questions, and deeper learning that come from sharing the experience with fellow educators. If you're looking for an engaging, interactive professional development experience, this workshop is designed for you. During this inspiring two-day workshop, you'll discover how to: ✨ Recognize movement patterns that may be limiting your students' progress. ✨ Prepare the body and brain for more effective learning. ✨ Help corrections "stick" more easily. ✨ Support healthier, more confident, expressive dancers. ✨ Teach with greater clarity, purpose, and understanding. Whether you teach ballet, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, musical theatre, or young children, you'll leave with practical tools that will enhance every class you teach. If you've ever felt there must be a deeper reason why some students struggle despite their best efforts, this workshop will give you an entirely new perspective. ✨ Your students don't need to try harder—they may simply need a body and brain that are better prepared to learn. ➡️ Visit the workshop landing page for full details, dates, pricing, and registration. https://www.radiantdancer.com/brain-dance-2-day-course-2026 - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/coquitlam/radiant-spark-beyond-technique-the-missing-foundations-every-dance-teacher-should-know/200030494433304 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, music, fine-arts, theatre, entertainment, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://www.radiantdancer.com/brain-dance-2-day-course-2026?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=coquitlam-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Coquitlam - **state**: BC - **country**: Canada - **location**: Tri-Cities, BC - **lat**: 49.26324 - **long**: -122.83958 - **full address**: Tri-Cities, BC, All Tri Cities, 1926 Como Lake Ave, Coquitlam, BC V3J 3R3, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Radiant Spark Beyond Technique: The Missing Foundations Every Dance Teacher Should Know - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/dd6e55eec027dfb5c9b5f049ef9c81b330110508566d60c358105856981dd5a4-rimg-w1200-h675-dcf8f8f8-gmir?v=1786951748 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Radiant Spark Beyond Technique: The Missing Foundations Every Dance Teacher Should Know being held? - **A:** Radiant Spark Beyond Technique: The Missing Foundations Every Dance Teacher Should Know takes place on Tue, 18 Aug, 2026 at 09:30 am to Wed, 19 Aug, 2026 at 04:30 pm at Tri-Cities, BC, All Tri Cities, 1926 Como Lake Ave, Coquitlam, BC V3J 3R3, Canada. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
