Dance Teacher Training with Andre van de Plas Farandol Folkdancers will be running a workshop for dance teacher training in Christchurch in August. The tutor will be Andre van de Plas (click here for CV) . The details have yet to be sorted out, including the cost and the number of hours, but at the moment we envisage that there will be a preliminary session on Friday evening, 7 August; on 8 August Andre will teach a repertoire workshop; on Sunday 9 August the rest of the teacher training will take place. This workshop is being held under the auspices of the teacher training sub-committee of Folk Dance New Zealand and we anticipate being able to issue a certificate of attendance. If you are interested, please let us know by phoning Katy Sinton on (03) 357 9322 or sending an email to farandol m @ gmx.net as soon as possible; we will keep you informed about the plans. We can provide billets.
