Preparing for Success
Participants thrive when they:
- arrive prepared
- engage actively
- contribute thoughtfully
- reflect honestly
- remain open to feedback
- support the learning of others
Growth develops through practice, reflection, discussion, feedback, and application.
Every participant contributes to the quality of the learning environment.
Online Learning Expectations
Online learning offers flexibility while also creating opportunities for intentional practice and feedback.
Participants should be prepared to:
- record practice and teaching assignments
- position a camera to capture both teaching and movement
- ensure clear audio quality
- upload videos when requested
- participate actively in discussions and breakout sessions
A professional studio space is not required.
A clean, safe, and well-lit environment that supports teaching, movement, and communication is sufficient.
If access to a studio is limited, participants may work with:
- friends
- family members
- practice students
- virtual participants
The goal is effective communication, purposeful teaching, and meaningful feedback.

- reliable internet service
- webcam
- microphone

Testing technology before the first session creates a smoother experience for everyone.

Participants are encouraged to:
- contribute during discussions

The habits you develop here become part of the experiences you create for others.
We look forward to learning alongside you.
