Refresher sessions in Contemporary Dance Technical Skills
This training session will consist of a new warm-up including some of the technical skills required at National 4, 5 and 6 levels such as roll downs, spirals, footwork and contractions. New travelling and centre sequences will be taught using triplets, leaps, changes of levels, facings and pathways. These can all be adapted and changed to fit in with the technique classes teachers will be delivering as part of the National Qualification courses.
Participants will also be taught a short contemporary dance towards the end of the session which will include various dynamics and gestures and will focus on the development of performance skills. This could be adapted and used by teachers to help with the creation of their Centre Set Performance solo required for National 5 and Higher Dance.
YDance dance staff will ensure that participants are using the correct posture and alignment and correct technical mistakes along the way. Participants will have the opportunity to film during the sessions as long as all other participants grant permission.

Refresher sessions in Choreography
This training session will consist of a creative warm-up including some improvised tasks. New creative tasks and games will be used to help explore choreographic devices such as retrograde, embellishment, mirroring and cannon. Participants will also have opportunity to use different structures when joining sections of creative work together.
Work will be devised around one creative theme through the whole session and we will piece all the sections together at the end to demonstrate how to create a 2 minute piece of choreography.
