NYB All In! Professional Development

NYB All In! Professional Development

Building on our skills and experience of developing high quality accessible ballet activities we have created in-depth CPD experiences to support the wider sector. Our CPD will cover top tips on how to make the ballet class more accessible both inside the studio and also through existing organisational structures. 

We offer a range of CPD opportunities for a variety of dance schools and teachers, in all our CPD training you will hear the voices and experiences of dancers with lived experience of disability.

What we offer:

1hr 30 minute online CPD, with NYB Creative Director and contributions from dancers with lived experience of disability sharing the NYB All In! ethos and practice. 

2hr in person CPD, with NYB Creative Director and contributions from dancers with lived experience of disability sharing the NYB All In! ethos and practice.

2hr 30 minute in person CPD, with NYB Creative Director and contributions from dancers with lived experience of disability sharing the NYB All In! ethos and practice and with an additional opportunity for a practical exploration of tasks within the studio.

We also offer one to one mentoring with NYB Creative Director Jo Meredith.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Practical tools to implement inclusion in the teaching and learning process
  • Participants will gain confidence in using the correct terms and talking with insight about access and inclusion.
  • Participants will be given different perspectives from people with lived experience of disability, enabling a broader understanding of the importance of inclusion
