Phillip Stephens will be starting a new
Become a Teacher training
course in the near future. This is a
fantastic opportunity for people who are interested
in becoming Dance Educators to get training from one
of the world's most highly certified dance
instructors. As an Examiner for the
Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD),
Phillip will provide detailed instruction in all
areas needed to turn you into a top-notch and
extremely knowledgeable instructor.
These programs are
extremely popular, drawing folk from
outlying areas and even from as far away as
Beaumont, TX. For best results, Phillip
likes to provide as much personal attention as
possible during the training sessions. That
means a limit must be set on the number of people
who can join any one training program. With a
limited number of slots available in each course,
the spaces fill up quickly. To be sure you can
get in on the next session, I urge you to get
registered now or miss your opportunity to get
trained by one of the five ISTD Examiners residing
in the USA.
Phillip's next course will cover
American style Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango &
Viennese Waltz in the Smooth section and Rumba,
Cha-cha, Bolero, Swing & Mambo in the Rhythm
section.
The class will meet for 2 hours every Monday evening
from 8pm to 10pm, with the exception of holidays. Each
participant must purchase study manuals, 1 for
Smooth & 1 for Rhythm, each costing $25 for a total
of $50 for the 2 books. Tuition for the 9-dance
course is $195 per month.
During the training, each participant will learn
both the lead and follow halves of each pattern, and
must also learn all the various alternate methods of
dancing every step. Learning the footwork,
timing, amount of turn, positions of the feet and,
where applicable, the rise and fall, alignments and
other technical details are important aspects of the
training. By the conclusion of each course,
each participant will have learned a brief routine
in each dance which will be performed during the
Dance Review that is part of the "graduation"
process.
During the Dance Review, each participant must
also demonstrate technical knowledge about various
patterns chosen by the Reviewer. Each
successful participant will receive a Certificate of
Completion attesting to the fact that all
requirements of the training have been met
satisfactorily.
All training will take place at The Dance
Place, 3300 Chimney Rock Rd., # 500. If
you'd like to participate in the training, please
send your complete contact details to phillip@theplace2dance.com.

program, please forward this information to them.
