Live Webinar

As our schools and studios have shifted into virtual or hybrid teaching, the ways in which we connect with our students have had to evolve. We’re excited to offer this opportunity to learn more about the potential of online teaching, and the challenges. Join us for a live-streaming webinar, where we’ll share what has been working best as we’re brought hundreds of virtual classes to children around the world.

We’ll discuss:

how to create engagement and interactivity in livestreams classes
what types of activities and practices work best virtually, which need adaptation, and which to avoid
considerations around what it means for kids to practice at home, and how to maximize respect and safety

Bring your questions and be ready to participate in some engaging virtual movement practices.
