About the workshop
The workshop has been created to offer veteran and aspiring teachers of different styles/backgrounds the opportunity to LEARN, REFRESH and RENEW their teaching skills. The workshop is also open to those interested in teaching and looking for more information.

Quotes from Lynn Simonson

“An important element is to develop the teacher’s eye for detail and to notice anatomical ‘red flags’. An awareness of your students is essential.”

“Emphasis on Vertical alignment helps students find the plumb line of the shoulder over the trochanter over the ankle. It prepares the body to dance in a way that is, I believe, more likely to be injury-free. We help each student understand that his body is different from the person standing next to him.”

The workshop will address the following and more:

-Recognizing how your students learn—right or left brain?
-Teaching exercises and movement phrases more clearly
-Recognizing plumb-line alignment
-Understanding the whys and hows of:
- Hypertonic quadriceps muscles
- hyper-extended knees
- hip verses tibia lateral rotation
- tibia torque
- and tight ITB bands
