The free training programme comprises:
– 30 hours of self-directed online learning
– 10 hours of practical, in-person training to apply the learning

Participants are encouraged to engage with the online learning before attending the practical workshops.

The in-person training will be led by Inclusive Dance Facilitator Cindy Cummings and Inclusive Dance Cork Artistic Director Rhona Coughlan.
