grace Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 i'm just wondering how many ballet talkers - if any - are also members of IADMS? (if you don't know what that is, then the answer is obviously 'not you'! so here's a link, for your info: http://www.iadms.org/ ) i do know, of course, that they are a unique body, and 'do good work', so to speak...BUT: because there are no examples, on the site, of anything you can get from joining - other than attend conferences, which is out of my price range - i can't measure the worth of joining, to myself. i suppose i am most intrigued by their discussion forum. BUT: before their site was re-fashioned, it was possible for anyone to visit their discussion board without joining - and it was as quiet as a cemetery...so i wonder whether it is active, now? anyone got any insider info?

BalletNut Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hi, Grace. This might be a good question for Ballet Talk For Dancers; this organization seems like it would be of interest to members of that board as well as this one. Thank you for the link. Link to comment
diane Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 grace, as far as I know, there are not any huge benefits from joining if you cannot attend the conferences, which I cannot, either. (for the same reasons you mentioned....) I am a member of the German equivalent, and they offer workshops in order to help interested teachers, etc. increase their knowledge of medicine as it applies to dance. Does IADMS offer those, too, in different areas? -d- Link to comment
grace Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 thanks for the responses. since i haven't been back here for about a week, and there are only these two responses, and neither of them from IADMS members, i guess it's reasonable to assume that IADMS members and BT members are not the same people! a teacher friend of mine shared some ballet technique teaching information which was new to me, and important. she picked it up at a seminar of some type, held in melbourne 2 years ago, i believe held in conjunction with the australian ballet school. she said it was an IADMS seminar, but its not listed on the IADMS website, so i think it wasn't quite that simple. i was after more information (about this particular technique point), and also to see if there is anything else important, that i am missing out on...

diane Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Which technique point was that? There are always new things which I find out at the seminars I go to, though not everything is geared toward ballet - but there is so much still to learn... from many areas. -d- Link to comment

I think most of the teachers and dancers who are members on this side also spend time on the Dancers' board. There is an overlap, of course, but each board does have a distinct membership profile. The likely IAMDS members are on the Dancers' board. Link to comment
