This on-demand course is primarily aimed at movement and dance teachers who wish to learn the basics of Language of Dance® (LOD) to then deliver LOD sessions in their own setting. It can also be useful for practitioners who are interested in new pedagogical approaches to movement exploration; creativity and choreography; and for those looking to investigate and deepen their own movement understanding. The course focuses on the exploration and understanding of the 10 fundamental LOD movement concepts and symbols. After successful completion; candidates will have further training available to them depending on their needs and interests.
