Teacher Training - Teachers' Examinations
Some of our CDs and DVDs have been specially designed
to help with the training of dance teachers.
DVD No. 47 - 'VOCABULARY 1'
This is a superb DVD which shows all the Allegro steps
used in Intermediate Foundation and Intermediate syllabi. They are shown at
normal speed and in slow motion. These steps are also shown in 22 free
enchaînements similar to those used in examinations. This is an excellent
opportunity to check the correct names and execution of these steps.

MUSICALITY
CD No. 21 is a new concept. It is a musicality course made up of a compact disc
and written text. Musicality is being given more and more importance in dance
exams today and is a little understood subject. Graham Dickson-Place has
travelled extensively giving music courses to teachers and dance students.
This
CD brings together all his wealth of knowledge on the subject.
