FRI2K • Pool Drama
Every aqua instructor has to deal with challenges that are unique to the poolside that is otherwise known as pool drama. Participants owning a spot in the pool, refusing to participate in activities, incessant talking or turning their back to the instructor are some of the most common issues. No instructor is immune to these challenges, but it is how we deal with them that defines us as leaders. In this session, seasoned instructors Marietta and Maria will discuss their effective and well tested strategies that will empower instructors with tools to manage personalities and maintain professionalism and dignity.
SUN2J • Level Up your Aqua Choreo
Level up your aqua choreo with the art of layering! Layering is a technique used when one simple move is gradually altered to finish with a more complex move. Layering combinations are performed by slowly adding, altering or elaborating more complicated variations to obtain more value from the original move either in intensity or complexity. This allows an easy transition from a simple routine to a complex, challenging one. This session is must for any instructor who struggles to get to the end product or wants to take their aqua choreography to the next Level!
