NDI & The Art of Teaching Fundamentals, July 2022

Teaching Artist Training Disclaimer

The NDI Collaborative for Teaching & Learning is an introduction to the NDI Method. NDI hopes participants have a positive experience and make good use of the techniques learned in this program. The NDI Collaborative for Teaching & Learning is not a certification program. Participation in our training program does not qualify you as an NDI teacher, nor does it allow you to train others in the NDI Method. Unless you are an employee of an ANDI (Associates of NDI) organization, this training program does not give you the right to use NDI's name, logo, or program language in connection with any program that you conduct. After successful completion of this program, you may cite that you have trained in the National Dance Institute methodology. When appropriate, NDI works with individual Teaching Artists and their communities to help them further their training and begin NDI Associate programs. NDI determines the type, length, and cost of such training on a case-by-case basis.
