On Saturday, November 16, 2024, the TAC Education Committee will host a Zoom forum led by Ron Wallace. This discussion will focus on “working with multiple skill levels in one class.” The forum starts Saturday afternoon at 12:00 PT, 1:00 MT, 2:00 CT, 3:00 ET, 4:00 AT, 4:30 NT.
One of the primary goals of the Education Committee is to set up a mentorship forum for dancers who have recently completed an RSCDS training program. TAC wants to connect with any teacher or instructor who has passed their Teaching Certificate Part 1 or Teaching Certificate Part 2 or received a Letter of Proficiency through the CTI program. The Education Committee is working on creating an opportunity to meet online where newer teachers and instructors can ask questions, share thoughts and ideas, and tap into the wisdom of more experienced teachers. Although this event is particularly focused on newly minted SCD teachers and instructors, all those teaching SCD are invited to attend.

How many times have you arrived at an away event and wished that you had a few supplies to get you through until you could get to a shop?
The Local Hospitality team will put together a small bag of “goodies” for you, and it will be ready and available at the registration desk when you arrive for either TCW or Summer School. The cost is $20, and all profits will be transferred directly to the TAC General Fund. This bag of goodies will include things like tea, coffee, sugar, fruit, juice, chocolate, cookies, crackers, cheese, and salty snacks.
Deadline for ordering kits is July 15, 2024
