​

am:  The music will tell you​

An appreciation of the music we use for teaching and why certain rhythms work better for various steps and dances – this will be a participation class

​

pm:  Being inclusive in our teaching

How can we be more inclusive in our teaching? What can we learn from “reasonable adjustments” for different disabilities, forms of neurodivergence and other limitations  – this will be a mix of discussion and participation.

​

NB The morning session starts 30 mins earlier than usual in order to accommodate the trialling of the shortlisted serTA 20th anniversary dances

Venue and further details coming soon.

Do you know a musician who is thinking about playing for SCD and would like some guidance from experienced SCD musicians?   serTA is pleased to publicise a number of one day or three day events for SCD musicians.
