  • 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 revolutionary, powerful, and transformative Brain-Compatible Dance Education. Instructors Terry Goetz and Anna Mansbridge have worked closely with Anne Green Gilbert for 20+ years and have shared her work with educators all over the globe. Guest presenters during the Refresher Course include Anne Green Gilbert and Dionne Kamara.
