Ecology Based Creative Dance Teacher Training
Ecology Based Creative Dance Teacher Training is a comprehensive teacher training module designed for those who wish to rediscover the body as a part of nature, connect movement with ecological cycles, and pass this awareness on to others through the methodology of creative dance.
We aim to develop more than just a “dance technique”; we strive for a sustainable way of living and teaching by building a bridge between the rhythms of nature and our own internal rhythms.
Who is it for?
This program is open to everyone, regardless of their background, who believes in the healing and unifying power of movement:
- Dancers and Movement Artists: Those looking to add ecological depth and creative versatility to their existing practice.
- Educators and Academicians: Teachers who want to enrich their classroom dynamics through creative movement and nature-based learning.
- Psychologists and Therapists: Professionals interested in integrating somatic awareness and nature connection into their therapeutic sessions.
- Environmental Activists and Non-Dancers: Anyone who wishes to connect with ecology through their body and transform this experience into a tool for group facilitation.
What Will You Learn?
Throughout the training, we will blend theoretical knowledge with deep somatic experience:
- Creative Dance Methodology: Techniques for lesson planning, gamification, and improvisation tailored for different age groups and skill levels.
- Ecological Somatics: Translating seasonal cycles, the four elements (earth, water, fire, air), and biological processes into a movement language.
- Facilitation Skills: How to guide a group’s creative process, hold a safe space, and develop an inclusive teaching language.
- Sustainable Movement: Principles of moving in harmony with the body’s natural anatomical structure and environmental rhythms, avoiding strain and burnout.
Benefits of the Program
- Community Connection: Becoming part of a network of like-minded individuals, offering opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange..
- Holistic Awareness: Perceiving your body as part of the ecosystem, leading to better stress management and physical grounding.
- A New Career Path: Upon completion, you will have a concrete curriculum that you can implement in schools, art centers, ecology camps, or your own private workshops.
- Unlocking Creativity: Using nature’s forms as a guide to overcome creative blocks in choreographic and artistic production.
No advanced dance experience is required, but an openness to movement exploration is essential.
Embodied Learning: Theory – Context – Praxis
Embodied Learning is a 10-week online/hybrid teacher training programme designed for educators, artists, facilitators, and learning professionals who wish to place the body at the centre of learning.
Bridging theory, context, and praxis, the programme explores how movement, perception, and embodied experience shape the ways we learn, teach, communicate, and create meaning. Rather than viewing the body simply as a tool for movement, participants investigate embodiment as a way of knowing, relating, and understanding the world.
Grounded in somatic practices and contemporary theories of embodied learning, the course invites participants to experience learning through movement while critically reflecting on their own educational and professional contexts. Throughout the programme, participants explore how embodied approaches can enrich creativity, deepen participation, and foster more relational and responsive learning environments.
The programme situates embodied learning within broader social, cultural, and ecological contexts, encouraging participants to critically examine dominant educational paradigms and explore more relational, inclusive, and responsive approaches to teaching and learning.
What the programme includes:
- Experiential movement sessions and guided somatic practices
- Contemporary theories of embodied learning
- Reflective practices connecting body, experience, and professional contexts Improvisation as a method for inquiry and creativity.
- Opportunities to translate theory into practice.
What participants will develop:
