Discover exclusive CPD courses through our new partnership with People Dancing, designed to equip ISTD members with the skills to teach older adults and people with Parkinson’s. Learn from leading experts, access flexible online training, and grow your impact in community dance.

People Dancing is the development organisation for community and participatory dance, driving forward inclusion and excellence.

Our partnership provides ISTD members with access to specialist CPD training at a special discounted rate. The courses and training available through our partnership focus on working with older adults and people with Parkinson’s.

The courses are perfect if you’re looking to expand your dance practice and explore working in community settings. The courses have been developed in partnership with leading dance artists who specialise in delivering dance in these sectors, such as David Leventhal (Dance for PD®/Mark Morris Dance Group) and Diane Amans (author of ‘Age and Dancing: Older People and Community Dance Practice’).

Each course will provide an in-depth insight into the areas of consideration for preparing to teach older adults and those with Parkinsons. They will provide a firm foundation on how to approach planning and structure, providing the knowledge and skill required to develop safe and enjoyable dance opportunities. And best of all, you can participate in the course at a time, place and pace convenient to you

I found the actual course was terrific - loved how it was short, efficient, focussed, contained all the important info, and presented in a variety of fun, engaging and accessible ways
