As part of the ICDF conference in Sweden we are running an afternoon track specifically tailored to train, connect and encourage dancers aged 17-30.
It will be a 3 hour session covering both afternoon workshop slots and we will be doing a mixture of technique (from a variety of teachers focusing on a different style every day), leadership training, biblical devotional and building connections with each other.
You don't have to join all 3 sessions in the track but it would be lovely to see you if you can.
