Continuing Professional Development


An important part of our mission is to support our members in their professional development and ongoing learning.

We are currently offering regular monthly dances held by teachers for teachers: Feet 1st. Please see here for details and next dates.


The Turning of the Seasons
Included in our monthly dances together through the year will be a quarterly offering by specialist teachers in their field.

These sessions will be a focus on a very particular area of professional development and education. For example, inclusivity work on the dance floor, music and DJ skills, non-violent communication, sexuality, creative processes such as writing/theatre/voice work in conscious movement spaces.

They will be 1,5 hours long, different to the one hour movement and sharing sessions held by teachers for teachers.

These events are free for members.

If you have a particular skill or field of knowledge you would like to offer, please let us know at info@icmta.com. The teachers are paid for these events.

    "Music is the Healing Force of the Universe” - Albert Ayler

    Hi everyone,

    I’ll be offering a short, friendly exploration of working with music as conscious dance teachers and DJs.
    What is music and how do we use it as a core resource for holding and activating our dancefloors?

    Obviously it’s a massive topic, so my intention will be on giving you a few accessible points of deeper exploration for your DJ practice.
    I won’t really go into tech; the focus will be on the creative and energetic aspects of DJing.

    All welcome, whatever level of experience and whatever DJ software/hardware you’re using.

    Hope to see you there!

    Christian

Past CPD Events:

WHAT WE DON'T KNOW: Embodied Social Justice for teachers of conscious movement who are interested in shared collaborative learning.

Sue Rickards and Deborah Lewin offered Part I (July 18th 2021) and Part II (September 12th 2021) of this event to share their knowledge and experience in the field of Social Justice, as well as create a space for shared learning.

One more event about Social Justice is currently in the cooking pot, please stay tuned.


RESPONDING TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS: An Online Forum

Andrew Holmes and Hilde Kloeck have begun to offer a series of exchanges exploring our relationship as conscious movement teachers to the Climate Crisis.

More events coming soon - details here or in the newsletters.

ZOOM TUTORIAL

In March 2020, right at the beginning of all the lock-downs, Sarah Davies very swiftly offered ICMTA members a Zoom tutorial on teaching classes online. Many of us are still grateful to her for having helped us begin this new era of our teaching.

The full video is available for members in the Resources For Members section.

While we make every effort to ensure that the information on this site is accurate, we cannot guarantee that everything is up-to-date when you read it. Please check with us, or the ICMTA member concerned, if it is important.
