MORE CONTENT THAN OTHER TRAININGS
In our Training, we offer content that many other schools do not include—material we consider essential for your learning and for helping you create safe, joyful teaching environments.
We cover key aspects of twerk practice such as biomechanics, inverted postures, and injury prevention.
We also approach education and the body from a decolonial framework, fostering trauma‑sensitive perspectives. We approach spaces with people with functional diversity as something to nurture, not just to manage, and we highlight the political importance of inclusive language, among many other topics.
Above all, we center the knowledge and situated experience of the people who accompany us on this journey.
