The International Association for Dance Medicine & Science (IADMS), the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) and Safe in Dance International (SiDI) have collaborated to create an industry-wide online event for all teachers of dance taking place on Sunday 31 July 2022.

The morning symposium is led by active practitioners in their fields Professor Emma Redding PhD MBE, Dr Liliana Araújo and Donna Krasnow PhD who will present stimulating keynotes looking at the range of challenges and opportunities that dance teachers face in the 21st century. This will be followed by a reflective and topical conversation with all three presenters discussing their individual keynotes and answering questions from the audience.

The afternoon sessions contain continuing professional development workshops which will give the participants take away practical tools on topics which address both the psychological and physiological health and well-being of dancers and dance teachers. The day closes with a presentation by Virginia Wilmerding PhD “So, what is the 21st century dance teacher?”

Afternoon events are mix and match and there is no obligation to attend all sessions.

This collaborative dance science event aims to reach all dance teachers and educators with valid, scientific information that can easily be disseminated and integrated into training tomorrow’s healthier dancer.

Join us on 31 July, 9.45am BST and be part of the conversation.
