We are excited to offer a true Refresher Course for teachers who have participated in past Summer Dance Institutes, Summer Workshop Series, Fall Dance Institute or in-depth trainings with CDC faculty. This course is geared for those currently using BCDE in their teaching practice who wish to deepen and improve their BCDE fluency and skill.

The Refresher Course is taught over 3 weeks June 24 to July 10 on Thursdays and Saturdays from 9:00am - 2:30pm Pacific.

This professional learning opportunity will increase your confidence in developing conceptually based BrainDances and 5-part lesson plans in any dance genre. With a balance of theory and practice, the Refresher Course includes a brain-based technique class in the morning; review of BrainDance patterns through embodied exploration; afternoon conceptually based dance classes or mini-labs; and time each afternoon for work with peers and faculty to develop lesson plans and BrainDances. We look forward to sharing a deep dive into the revolutionary, powerful, and transformative work of Anne Green Gilbert.

All workshops are from 9:00am – 2:30pm Pacific on Zoom.
Thurs June 24th + Sat June 26th
