TEACHERS TRAINING DAY

On Thursday, January 21st, we will hold a special “Teachers Training Day”. This training day will be conducted by Adamo&Vicci and Ron&Sharon. This extra day is open to any local teacher and/or blues scene leader. During this day, we will have workshops that will concentrate mostly on teaching skills and pedagogy. We believe that in order to create a strong worldwide blues dance community it’s important to constantly work on our teaching skills and material. What better way than to do it then during an event with many dancers from around the world.
Additional cost for this day: €40
