See you soon...
 

We look forward to seeing you at the Dance for PD® Introductory Training Workshop in Towson, MD March 7-8. 

Here are some details to help you prepare for your workshop experience.

1. You may access and download information about workshop locations, directions, schedule, and local food options, by clicking here.

2. Lunch options are a 22-minute walk (or 6-minute drive) away. If you'd like to place an order for a Panera boxed lunch to be delivered onsite for either or both days, please click here. Orders must be received by Wednesday, March 4 at 12 noon Eastern Time. You are welcome to bring your own lunch each day as well.

3. In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint and save trees, all introductory training modules and resources are now available for download as PDFs. We will not be distributing hard copies of these materials. Please note that you will NOT need a printout of these materials during the workshop.

Please click on the materials you'd like to access:

4. If you are in the Dance Teacher training program, you will have the option to create a short original movement phrase or exercise with a partner to present during Sunday's practicum session. At the workshop, we will give you all of the information you need to plan your exercises, but we always like to let you know ahead of time. Many participants feel this is the most valuable part of the workshop. It is designed to be instructive and constructive--it is not an audition. Professional Enrichment participants will participate in the practicum session as dancers, engaged observers and commentators but will not be required to lead activities.   

5. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely but also to sit for discussion and training periods. Some people will wear sweatpants and T's the whole time, some will wear jeans. Jazz shoes, ballet shoes, socks or bare feet are all fine. Out of respect for those with chemical sensitivities, we maintain a fragrance-free environment policy at our workshops, so please leave perfumes/colognes at home.  

.

6. Please bring a pen and notepad if you'd like to take notes. If you ordered a T-shirt or videos as part of your registration, we will deliver these orders to you on the first day of the workshop.

7. As part of our on-going efforts to reduce our impact on the environment, we encourage you to bring a reusable water bottle or beverage container that you can fill and refill during the course of the workshop.   

8. If you haven't completed your online course yet, we ask that you try to do so before the workshop. 

If you have registered in the past week or have already notified us of your situation, don't worry--we understand that you may need additional time to complete the online course.

We look forward to working with you soon! Please reach out via email if you have any questions: support@danceforpd.org.
