FOR EXPERIENCED
DANCE TEACHERS
BOTH Dance Classes is very excited to share that it has been awarded funding from Arts Council England for the second time for the return of Teachers' Rehab '23.
This free-to-attend event is designed for experienced dance teachers, over 30 years of age, from a range of dance styles and contexts, to come together and embark on a rich programme with the aim to rejuvenate, get creative and connect.
Following on from the success of last year's project, this intensive will spark creativity and allow teachers to learn new skills in a supportive environment. We want teachers to find commonality in new or varied learning experiences.
Please see below for more information on the event and the exciting teachers and organisations on board to make this all come together with a variety of classes, workshops and symposiums.
THE TEACHERS' REHAB '23 HAS NOW FINISHED
