SiDI Registered Provider (RP) Janine Bryant stepped in to deliver the ISTD Unit on Dance Science in August. This unit has been written by Erin Sanchez (also a SiDI RP) on behalf of Safe in Dance International and the ISTD. The Unit, part of the ISTD level 6 teaching qualification, covers all of Safe in Dance International’s 10 Core Principles. Janine travelled from her base in Pennsylvania to deliver the unit in London. Kath Bye from the ISTD’s Education and Training Department said: “Janine’s lectures were insightful, dynamic and clear for the learners to understand. Janine’s approach looked at the important principles of Dance Science in particular looking at Safe Dance Practice core principles and ensuring that the learners were given the opportunity to explore topics that related to their own dance practice.”
Earlier this year Co-Founders of SiDI Maggie Morris and Sonia Rafferty delivered three separate tutor training days to the ISTD tutors delivering their Safe Practice Unit for their new Level 4 teaching qualification.
We are looking forward to continuing this positive collaborative partnership with the ISTD.
Janine and students from the ISTD
I was a student in Janine’s lectures at ISTD. She is an excellent instructor who used her passion for dance science research to articulate the content in an exciting way. The Dance Science Unit is an excellent way for any dance teaching practitioner to develop their understanding of the latest dance science research.
