Beginner-Intermediate Progressive March 11-April 15 〰️
Upcoming Course: Beginner-Intermediate level Floorwork
Wednesdays, March 11-April 15th
8-9:30pm
Location: Winchester Street Theatre aka Toronto Dance Foundation,
80 Winchester St, Toronto (Cabbagetown)
Additional Offering: Teaching Mentorship
After a successful inaugural program I am again offering two spots for teaching training/mentorship as part of this series!
This stream requires 5+ years of training in contemporary dance and an interest in teaching contemporary floorwork.
Students will complete the 6 week course and also have two one-on-one mentoring sessions with Kylie, around the 3 week mark and at the close of the course, in which they will discuss the course material from a pedagogical lens and receive guidance on how to pursue the avenue of teaching their own practice.
Please email kylie: kylie@kyliethompsondance.com and if we have not met before, introduce yourself and tell me about your previous training and why you want to be part of the mentorship.

Weeks 1-3 will focus on beginner elements, and weeks 4-6 will have some intermediate level progression.
Every effort is made to maintain a consistent schedule, but substitute teachers may be present. If a class has to be cancelled it will be rescheduled.

What if I sign up but then book a job or something else comes up? Can I get a refund?
sorry, no refunds at this time - I am open to you using class credit for future events. Just ask me!
I’ve trained for a couple years in ballet/jazz. Can i attend this course?
Yes! I offer modifications and keep a friendly, easy going pace in the room. Remember to take breaks to observe and listen to your body.
I’m an absolute beginner dancer, can I attend?
I wouldn’t recommend this. However, perhaps your background in gymnastics, martial arts, yoga or other movement practices feels like a good foundation for you - it is ultimately your choice.
