What is Jal Barre Instructor Training all about?

Syllabus

Jal’s Barre Instructor Training Program offers a balanced and thorough blend of theory, observation and practical experience to help you master the repertoire and discover your unique instructor persona. 

During this instructor training, you will learn how to teach to a variety of learning styles and how to scaffold learning for new and experienced students. The instructor will teach you how to plan out progressive lesson plans to further your student’s coordination, strength, and flexibility, as well as focus on alignment, moving in rhythm to the music, and teaching to your audience. 

The instructor will focus on how intention, tone of voice, physical touch can motivate people in different ways, and detailed exploration of how to cue physically through different learning styles (verbal, visual, tactile, sensory, and explanation) can be done in different ways throughout classes to help your future students.

Throughout the 3-day course, you will be gaining deeper insights into some of the following:

Musicality

By training up on your own musicality, you will be able to design classes with great flow as you learn to move, speak, and be one with music. During this training, you will be learning to coordinate speech, listen to music and your physical actions to meld comprehensively. The course will break down in details on how to cue efficiently to the beat of music, how to get to know songs to emphasize their accent and use music to deliver an effective class.

Ballerina Basics

This segment will be covering traditional ballerina exercises done at the barre with an emphasis on learning how muscles work to hone your best possible alignment and form. You will learn to look for proper alignment and keep people safe during this high-impact workout. Dance basics will explore movement from a variety of genres, from jazz to pop and hip hop.

Alignment

This course places great emphasis on proper alignment and body awareness, in the ballerina basics and pilates section, as well as part of the physical movement curriculum. This will also come to play throughout education on the anatomy of movement.
