What It Is
We have had many requests from students for a system of technique assessments and a personally tailored development plan.
This already existed as part of our accredited courses (click here) so we are now expanding it to include everyone else.
It is open to all dancers, and provides the support they often need.
Why Do It?
There are many reasons why a dancer may need a more personal approach to their dancing. This programme is for you if:
You have no regular teacher in your area or at your level.
You have got 'stuck' with your technique.
You are not sure where your strengths and weaknesses lie.
You are not sure of your true technique level.
You don't know how to get to the next level.
You need a boost to your confidence and a plan to work to.
You want to speed up your progress.
You do not have to be on any JWAAD course to join the Personal Development Programme.
How It Works
The plan starts with a 30 minute technique assessment to identify your technique level.
The Assessor will give you:
• some specifics to work on which will help address the weaker areas.
• an appraisal of where your strengths lie.
• a time frame and suggestions for your development.
You will receive a Personal Technique Assessment Sheet with a summary of the Assessor's suggestions, and a Certificate with your overall dance level.
You can agree a timeframe for your next assessment or book it when you feel you have progressed and want to see how you are getting on.
In between assessments you can book as many private lessons with JWAAD Assessors or Teachers as you want or need, to speed up your progress.
When you book additional technique assessments and your level changes, you will receive an updated Certificate.
How Much Does It Cost
Initial Technique Assessment: £35 for 30 minutes
Additional Technique Assessments: £35 for 30 minutes
Private lessons with JWAAD Assessors and Teachers: This is variable according to the Teacher and area they teach in. You can contact them individually for details. For a list of JWAAD Teachers click here. To find a JWAAD Teacher in your area click here.
