The Certification Pathway
Certification unfolds through ongoing live practice and structured self-study, allowing dancers to integrate the Baskets dialect with depth and clarity over time.
Rather than a single intensive, this pathway emphasizes sustained engagement, embodied understanding, and thoughtful development of teaching.
Step One- Ongoing Live Practice
Monthly Basket Play Date
(optional)
In-person training occurs through the opportunity to practice with me during the monthly Basket Play Date.
These sessions provide:
• Direct experience within the dialect
• Real-time group improvisation practice
• Clarification of structure and cueing
• Space for questions and refinement
This ongoing format supports gradual integration rather than rapid completion.
Cost: $10-$15 USD
Step Two- Structured Self-Study
Online and Self-Paced
Between live sessions, dancers engage in guided self-study designed to deepen understanding and refine precision.
Self-study may include:
• Movement checklists
• Structural diagrams and graphics
• Fast and Slow Baskets study materials
• Video review and reflection
• Practice drills
All materials are designed to support clarity, integration, and eventual teaching readiness.
Cost: $150 USD
Step Three- Teaching Readiness & Mentorship
Video Submission and Feedback
As dancers demonstrate fluency and structural understanding, the focus shifts toward teaching clarity.
This stage may include:
• Demonstration of clean cueing
• Structural precision in improvisation
• Reflection on leadership approach
• Submission of teaching or movement videos (as applicable)
Certification emphasizes readiness and integrity rather than speed.
Cost: $50 USD
