NGCP Certification Spring 2023

Starting with the Basic Level, each of the five units of the Nan Giordano Certification Program® (NGCP®) has it's own curriculum and will be taught in spearate certification workshops. Participants will be given teaching marterials to enchance their learning and mastery of this complex and joyous art form. In order to become a certified teacher of the Giordano Technique, one must train with Nan Giordano. 

The structure of the Basic Level has three components organzied into three equal 20 minute segments (20/20/20): Pre-Stretch, Floorwork, and Across the Floor.

As you progress from the Basic to the Beginning Level of this foundational dance technique, the pacing of the class, the complexity of the movement, and the increased focus on style become more challenging yet even more enjoyable.

The structure of the Beginning Level differs from the prior Basic Level as it adds more complexity and has four components which divides the class into two segments of 15 minutes, one segment of 10 minutes, and one segment of 20 minutes (15/15/10/20): Pre-Stretch, Floorwork, Center, Across the Floor.

As you take on the rigors and magnified complexity of the Intermediate Level, pacing of the class, attention to style, and a deep commitment to strengthening the whole body all increase. 

Like the Beginning Level before it, the structure of the Intermediate Level continues to add complexity and increased energy. This level also has four components which divide the class into two segments of 15 minutes, one sgement of 10 minutes, and one segment of 20 minutes (15/15/10/20): Pre-Stretch, Floorwork, Center/At the Barre, and Across the Floor.
