Teacher's
Training School
July 14 - 23, 2025
Develop the eye to see the difference! Learn the knowledge to teach the difference! Motivate the passion to make a difference!
The ADAPT "Teacher's Training School" program is to encourage and train senior dancers and assistant teachers who are interested in becoming professional "dance teachers" as well as existing dance teachers who are already teaching and are interested in improving their teaching skills and earning their "ADAPT Certification".
Teachers Training School is a graduating, nine-day intensive "learn to teach dance" course held each summer for two consecutive years.
It is a progressive two year ONLINE program and participants are expected to attend both semesters in order to achieve their "ADAPT TEACHER’S CERTIFICATE". Attendees must be 18 years of age or older.
Proper Technique Training
ADAPT will introduce the knowledge to teach the required techniques for each age level. We will help to develop the “eye” to see the difference and improve personal skills to communicate the “how to do” for better technical excellence.
The Dance Class
Training combinations and progressives across the floor will be introduced to enhance your class plans and support better style, performance with quality technique.
Syllabus Work
Required technique and set syllabus work for the all divisions and levels, will be included as part of T.T.S. training.
ADAPT Strategies
Seminars will introduce the “secrets” of the ADAPT technique strategies and formulas to help develop stronger technique and more versatile dancers for the future.
Graduation Ceremony
In celebration for 2 years of hard work, a professionally produced virtual “Graduation Ceremony” will be presented for all graduates. Family and friends are also invited to view the on-line celebration.
ADAPT Ballet Syllabus
Under the creative direction of Master Ballet Teacher Naira Romazonova, ADAPT is proud to present our Voganava based, “Ballet Syllabus” guidelines for preparing your students to participate in their ADAPT “Ballet Presentational Exam Class”.
The evaluation/critique class is prepared by the teacher and allows students to present their “pre-choreographed” class in front of two ADAPT examiners and an audience of invited parents and family members. Audience members will be given a brief introduction to the exam/class process by the examines and the studio’s teaching faculty may also remain in the room.
For any teacher who is interested. TTS will offer ballet seminar/workshop to help learn and understand the exciting examination format.
