John Festa, in conjunction with Skippy Blair, presents a GSDTA Mini-Intensive on Sunday Sept 4th, 10am-12pm, led by Certified GSDTA Professional Sharlot Bott.
This mini-intensive has very limited seating and you must pre-register. There’s also a $30 charge as this mini-intensive is not included in your weekend pass. More on that below, but once we sell out, the sessions will be closed. As of August 16th, 2011, there were only 8 seats remaining.
**NOTE** : Please follow the instructions for registering for this mini-intensive as outlined at the bottom of this page. You must register directly with Sharlot Bott via email — Hudson Swing is *not* handling the mini-intensive registrations. Until you receive a confirmation from Sharlot that you are registered, you should assume that you are not.
Sharlot will be presenting two one-hour certification modules that are guaranteed to take your knowledge and your dance performance one GIANT step forward.
This small select group will cover considerably more than could be accomplished in the usual group of 35 or 40 applicants. Printed materials will also cover far more than what can be covered in that time period. Sharlot’s mastery of these “Golden State Dance Teachers Association” Modules is spectacular. Sharlot & Mark presented several GSDTA Modules this year, most recently at the 2011 Kona Intensive in May. For those interested in teacher training, this intensive’s attendees earn 3 hours credit towards teacher training certification, even though the presentation is only for 2 hours.
Personal note from Skippy:
“Dancers: Sharlot is one of a few select GSDTA Professionals, who is qualified to train teachers for our Certification Program. We both feel privileged to present this program at John Festa’s spectacular event. We have combined several Modules in order to cover more material in the time allotted… God Bless and have a WONDERFUL experience – Wish I could be with you!”
