August 28th, 2023 | SWEDISH SCHOOL OF SPORT AND HEALTH SCIENCES
Professional Development for Ballet Educators
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN & ONLINE
After the first successful round in 2022, the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences (GIH) in Stockholm is proud to again offer two free-standing courses specifically for ballet educators:
- Anatomy and Physiology for Ballet Educators (course leader is Dr. Jane Salier Eriksson, Physiotherapist at the Swedish Royal Ballet and affiliated to GIH)
- Psychology for Ballet Educators (course leader is Dr. Sanna Nordin-Bates, Associate Professor at GIH)
Target Audience: ballet teachers, professional dancers about to become teachers, and other ballet educators such as choreographers, ballet mistresses/masters, managers, and artistic directors. Theoretical knowledge will be interwoven with practically oriented tasks and class discussions. Because they are mostly delivered online, they will be accessible even to those living far from Stockholm; however, a 2.5-day campus-based teaching session for each course helps to ensure that knowledge is better anchored in practice. This time on campus will also facilitate knowledge exchange between participants. Learn More Here.
Free for EU citizens; tuition fees for international students

We set the tone for our classes; we build relationships with students, parents, and administrators; we overcome obstacles for the sake of our programs; and we advocate for dance and demonstrate its tremendous impact through our teaching. This year in Denver we come together to explore and embrace our impact as leaders. Join us as we raise respect for the field of dance education and make the implicit explicit.
