Molly Shanahan/Mad Shak announces the inaugural, basic level Spiral Body Techniques studio class teacher certification opportunity in Chicago for a small group of (approximately six) advanced dancers and aspiring or experienced teachers with an interest in deeper study with Shanahan and becoming certified to teach Spiral Body Techniques studio classes. Participants in the inaugural certification will (likely) have studied with Shanahan previously* through technique classes, workshops, or ensemble experiences. If you have not already let us know you are interested, please reach out with interest.**

Application process, detailed schedule, scope of study, recommended reading, and tuition and payment information will be emailed to each interested dancer.

When: July 16-26 2023. There will be an additional weekend scheduled in December 2023 (no additional cost).

Where: Dovetail Studios and DePaul University.

Who: This process will be taught by Molly Shanahan with pedagogical and research support by Kristina Fluty.

Tuition: $2750: Can be paid in single or multiple installments. We are happy to work with each aspiring Spiral Body Techniques teacher to make the tuition work. Suggested first payment: $1000 Feb 15; $1000 May 15; and $750 July 15.

Spiral Body Techniques can only be taught by certified teachers. SBT has been registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office and is pending final review.

*Upcoming, open-to-all classes, workshops, and mini-intensives will provide those new to Shanahan’s teaching and Spiral Body Techniques the opportunity to fulfill pre-requisites for completing the SBT teacher certification in a future year. For example, June 11-14, 2023 four-day workshop is perfect for those who are interested, but want more exposure to the work.

**We are happy to start a dialogue with those interested in the 2024 training, but who aren’t able or ready to commit to the training in 2023. Reach out if this is you.
