Description
This 40-hour intensive training for dance educators builds on Level 1 and uses the Dancing Wheels foundational principles and training method as a framework for creative inquiry and advanced practice.
Participants re-contextualize traditional modes of dance partnering and dance-making within a physically integrated environment and hone skills in developing translations for intermediate-to-advanced physically integrated dance classes.
The Level 2 intensive provides continued and advanced certification training for dance educators in the Dancing Wheels methodology. Participants must have obtained a Level 1 Certification as a prerequisite to this program.
