Dance Teacher’s Practical Training Supplement
As part of our ongoing commitment to high quality dance education and professional development, Ausdance WA is thrilled to be presenting the first Dance Teacher’s Practical Training Supplementworkshop developed by James Berlyn in collaboration Ausdance WA.
The DTPTS is a five-day full-time program providing teachers and aspiring teachers with the practical skills and strategies needed to successfully teach dance in the classroom, community, recreation and social settings. The DTPTS is designed for professional dance teachers of any style or experience level.There are no entry requirements to this workshop, and though the
program is designed as a practical supplement to the new online Dance Teacher’s Skill Set (currently in development by Ausdance Victoria), it can be taken purely as intensive professional development training.

Places are strictly limited to provide the optimal learning environment. The dates for the DTPTS in 2016 are:
