"The Foundations of Vertical Water Training -
The Kopansky Method Pre-Requisite Course and the
Group Aqua Fitness Specialty Training and
Certification Course have been launched in Ontario
and Alberta thus far. All other provinces continue
to use the CALA Combined Foundations of Fitness
Theory and Aquafitness Leadership Training Course,
Part 1 & Part 2. Any person who has completed the
CALA Combined Foundations course, is not required to
complete the Vertical Water Training Course or the
Group Aqua Fitness Specialty Course."
Choreography
Communication to the
Participants is Essential
A
variety of choreography can bring variety and challenges to
the class. There is no limit to where your imagination can go
with a combination of CALA moves and music. Some suggestions
include:
Find out
what your participant's interests are and design around
that.
Ask your participants
to tell you what their favourite moves are.
Invite
your participants to review available music and maybe as a
group purchase some new cds.
Plan your
cycling class around an event such as the Tour De France
or the Olympics
Incorporate
movements from sports, dance or stretching
Consider a
theme class for special events. Themes might include:
(Irish movements on St Patrick's Day)
A theme
might be based on music of choice such as: Latin, Country
or Celtic
Have a
theme class based on an event related to your group. Maybe
someone is getting married
Change the
intensity of your class by doing a Pilates, yoga, water
walking, or balance class to slow or gentle piano music
Take a cd
and create choreography for each song.
