Participants are trained in the core competencies of dance and movement education. The focus is on didactic and methodological seminars. The program serves to establish and consolidate basic knowledge and skills in movement instruction as well as intensive theoretical background knowledge. In order to promote continuous growth in skills and knowledge, intensive practical and theoretical seminars are offered in the following areas: voice, medicine, psychology, project management and organization, dance, physical theater, circus, history, visual arts, and other genres.

Work shadowing, teaching trials, and artistic work support practical relevance and the transition to professional life. Networking and seminars on topics such as law, insurance, and project design prepare students for possible start-ups and freelance work.

The opportunity for daily training serves to maintain physical fitness and offers the chance to gain insight into other areas of movement arts. 

The program consists of practical and theoretical seminars. However, based on the principle of interaction between practice and theory, these teaching methods are not strictly separated, but influence each other. The program structure offers the body and voice a healthy balance of activity and rest periods, while at the same time optimally preparing participants for the physically demanding work of educators in the field of artistic movement.

MOVE & TEACH - Qualification dance and movement education is divided into 4 sections.

Section 1 - Basic methodological and didactic knowledge

September to October, Monday to Thursday, from 8.30 a.m. to 3 p.m. (except on public holidays and Berlin school vacations) + time for self-study)

Section 2 - Creative process

Participation in the CCA program: November to mid-February, Tuesday to Thursday 10.30 to 15.00 + Friday 10.30 to maximum 17.00. The focus is on artistic-creative work and the production process.

Section 3 - Target group specification

Mid-February to early July, Monday to Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (except on public holidays and during Berlin school vacations) + time for self-study

The focus is on working with different target groups (early childhood education, primary school age, youth, seniors, inclusion). Here, knowledge about age-specific characteristics, physical and psychological characteristics, and didactic approaches is imparted, and participants are encouraged to develop their own stylistic teaching skills.

Teaching samples serve to test the dance education skills developed and to acquire and consolidate teaching practice. The protected environment of the training course is designed to encourage participants to try out new things and to recognize, reflect on, and analyze mistakes as opportunities for learning.

Section 4 - Examination phase and certification

For those who wish to complete the training with a certificate after the seminar phase, the final section now follows. This includes internships, work shadowing, performance assessments, and project work.

Work shadowing serves to familiarize participants with, compare, and reflect on different methods and models of dance education. Furthermore, the observation periods support participants in finding their own teaching personality and developing teaching concepts.
