Exciting news!! The world has 14 new ‘Ongoing SRT’ teachers.
Over the Easter period 2026, we gathered together in Glasgow for 2 weeks. Guided by senior practitioners Gaby Agis, Kirsty Alexander and Theresa Moriarty.
The following people are now certified to teach the ‘Ongoing’ SRT series: Sophie Alder, Julia Adzuki, Lauren Bentley, Ruth Gibson, Polly Hudson, Lilly Kiara, Lizzy LeQuesne, Serap Meric, Maria Rita Salvi, Deniz Soyarslan, Rosemary Spencer, Ana Stegnar, Morgan Thorson and Bahar Vidinlioglu. Participants travelled to Glasgow from near and far – UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Turkey, Italy and America.
After 15-years since the last cohort, this training finally came to fruition. Having waited for enough teachers to be ready, made the gathering all the more meaningful. The timing felt right, creating a shared sense of readiness to move forward together. The experience sparked numerous new connections and lasting friendships, with participants already exploring ways to continue teaching and dancing together.
A special highlight was welcoming Theresa Moriarty, who travelled from Seattle, USA, to share her deep knowledge and first-hand experience of Joan Skinner’s work, alongside her own refined and inspiring teaching approach.
Keep an eye out for upcoming ‘ongoing’ classes, as many participants are stepping forward to bring this work into their own communities in the year ahead.
