  4. Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the means by which a teacher furthers their teaching practice through dance-related activities. From attending courses and events to independent learning (e.g. reading and journalling), continuing professional development can come in many forms.

Discover our Residential Summer Programme 2025

We are excited to once again return with the residential summer programme in August.

Delegates will have the opportunity to join courses led by our expert teaching teams, connect with other members from around the world, network with lecturers and examiners outside the studio and participate in additional morning and evening activities – all with meals and accommodation provided.

Whether you want to attend for one day or the whole week, this event is ideal for all teachers; from the most experienced through to those still in training. Attending CPD courses is the best way to update your teaching practice and refresh yourself for the autumn term.
