Train-The-Trainer Proposal As discussed last Sunday, we will commence our line dance refresher training and practice sessions in a different manner. This serves as a memorandum on what have been proposed and agreed upon:1. We will have our refresher training(walkthrough) and line dance practice sessions on every Saturday and Sunday effectively from first week of July 09 onwards 2. Below briefly described the difference between refresher training and practice sessions and the manner those sessions will be conducted:Refresher Trainings One of the BRP Linedance Club members will be nominated to take on the lead role for a particular dance title (Herein refers to as the “Dance Lead”). The Dance Lead will have to memorize and master the entire dance without difficulty. Dance Leads may refers to Line Dance Walkthrough* for dances taught by our instructor Joyce http://brpwalkthrough.blogspot.com/ *Exclusive for members only He/She will re-teach and walk through the steps with members during the designated refresher training sessions. There will be 2 refresher training sessions per week. The refresher training session on every Saturdays will start from 89.15pm. As for Sunday, 9.30 – 10.45 am There will be 5 dances taught in each sessions.Walkthrough duration is limit to 15 min per dance. .
Practice Session The session allows team member to repeat doing the dances taught in the current or previous Refresher Training sessions. Due to time constraint, there will be no walkthrough or only be a brief walkthrough, if necessary. Members are encouraged to practice on difficult dances such as the ones with 64 steps, tags and restarts. There will be 2 practice sessions each week. The practice sessions will commence from 9.20-10.00pm and 7.00-7.30am on every Saturday and Sunday respectively.

Again, members are encouraged to self-nominate on voluntarily basis. Selection of Dance Title 1.
