Teaching dance to older people
Sunday was part two of the CPD training offered by Oxford Dance Forum at The Old Firestation. Organised by Angela Conlan and led by Cecelia Macfarlane it was another lovely and inspiring workshop day. Both useful and enjoyable Cecelia actually took away the emphasis from ‘older people’ to be far more inclusive with her intergenerational and as she helpfully terms it ‘translatable’ activities. With a real and obvious commitment to empowerment and the belief in each persons uniqueness and creativity she communicates a real joy in dance and the pleasure of learning from each other. It was great to see the happy faces of so many teachers and dancers.
