WHY ONLINE WORKSHOPS?

Over the past two years we’ve done a full five weeks of live teacher trainings.  It’s been an incredible journey 💫
 
And through that process we realized that some of the theory we teach doesn’t need to happen in person.
 
When we’re together with students, we want to focus on hands-on practice—building the live skills that make great teachers.
 
But theory and concepts still matter a lot!  It’s the foundation that supports everything we do in the classroom.
 
These online workshops let us share that foundation with more people, and helps keep our in-person time focused on what matters most when we are live working with each other. 

UPCOMING LIVE WORKSHOPS

Our next online workshop will be announced soon!
It will be on Sunday March 1st, 2026.

CHOOSING MUSIC FOR CLASSES 

Sunday December 14th

19-20:30 CET (Rome) / 1-2:30pm EST (NYC) / 10am-11:30am PST (SF)

 
No more scrambling for songs!  Teaching with music that works  🎶

You’ve developed the perfect exercise to lead your students through the next technique… you’ve explained it clearly and succinctly… you’ve set them up expertly with practice partners…

…then the song comes on and it’s completely wrong for the vibe you’re trying to create.  The students aren’t concentrating anymore, and it’s chaos until you can figure out how to get everything back on track.  

The right music at the right time can be the difference between a concept hitting home and complete classroom disorientation. 

Mark and Flouer will guide you through their proven process for choosing, organizing, and using music strategically, so you can spend less time hunting for songs and more time teaching with confidence.

🎵 🎵 🎵


In this 90 minute workshop, you’ll walk away with…  

  • A personal understanding of the kinds of songs that match your teaching style
  • Insight into how sound affects nervous systems—and how to use that knowledge in the classroom
  • Strategies for using music to manage classroom dynamics, pacing, and focus
  • Skills to recognize when a song is working.. and when it’s not!
  • Systems for categorizing your songs so you can reuse them with ease
  • Methods for organize your music so you can find them quickly
    • Using both playlists (Spotify, etc.) and tags (mp3s)
 

What’s Included:

✨ Time in breakout rooms with fellow teachers to practice and troubleshoot
✨ Links to pre-made sample class playlists curated by Mark & Flouer
✨ A downloadable worksheet with class notes and questions

 

CLEAR COMMUNICATION: Refine Your Teaching Presence

Clarify your teaching personality & learn to describe movement in ways that suit different students.

In our teacher training system, one of the 4 pillars of effective teaching is Clear Communication.  It’s a vast topic that covers everything from pronunciation and word choice, body language and presentation style, to how you describe movement.  

In these two hours we’ll be covering these aspects of this work: 

  1. Understanding and refining our individual teaching personalities
  2. Methods on how to describe movements to reach different types of learners.
  3. We’ll touch on our general theory behind clear, concise, and inspirational language choices for the classroom.  

In this online workshop you’ll come away with:

  • Real-time practice teaching movement to your peers
  • Ways to differentiate your approach when explaining movement to diverse students
  • An overview of the different teaching personalities 
  • Avenues of exploration on your personal teaching style
  • A basic understanding of our theory behind communication as effective dance teachers.

CLASS CONTENT: Plan Your Next Class With Us

Steal Mark & Flouer’s class templates & build your next dance class with us.

The foundation of a great dance class starts with the Class Content, and at its heart is a solid, well-crafted class plan.  

Mark and Flouer will share class planning templates they personally use, breaking down each section and explaining its relevence.  Then, we’ll roll up our sleeves and work together to help you apply the template to create your next class. 

Along the way, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions, get feedback in small groups, and connect with other teachers who are passionate about taking their fusion classes to the next level.

In this online workshop you’ll come away with:

  • A solid, actionable plan for your next dance class
  • Templates that you can re-use to plan both individual classes and longer term courses.
  • Real-time advice from Mark & Flouer about how to set actionable goals for your students
  • Feedback from peers & other teachers in the fusion dance network

 

📩 Upon registration you will receive a zoom link for entrance, and you’ll get some reminder emails too.

✔️ If you can’t make it in person you will get access to the video a few days after the event.
