The seminars will be moderated by the NISA Licensed coaches who were funded to attend the 2009 ISU Development camps for Dance in Oberstdorf and Pairs in Berlin earlier this year.
These seminars will be provided as per the agreement NISA had with these coaches when they were nominated to participate in the ISU camps and, as well as discipline specific sessions , there will be focus on generic use of edges, turns and steps with additional off –ice sessions covering music, choreography, program planning etc .
The seminars are specifically targeted at RDPT and Performance skaters and their coaches. However, the seminars will also be open to non-RDPT skaters and coaches if places are available.
Parents of skaters attending without a coach must take responsibility for their skater.
Subsidised rates will apply for RDPT and Performance skaters and NISA Licensed coaches of Pair and Dance RDPT/Performance skaters.
