ABOUT THE MODULES  关于课程模块

These classes will occur regularly throughout the year, but will be structured into modules for the development of the participants.  Each module will progress in difficulty from each session to the next.  This structure will allow students to track their progress over the weeks, and come to the program with the mindset of completely a whole course. 

这些课程将在全年定期举办, 但将被构造成模块, 供参与者发展。每个模块将在每个会话到下一个会话的困难中取得进展。这种结构将使学生能够跟踪他们在几周内的进步, 并以完全整个课程的心态来到这个项目。

Students are welcome to drop in throughout the five week session, but are encouraged to commit to one complete module to see progress. Committing to a series of classes rather than one at a time, will help you feel more familiar with the exercises from week to week and allow you to go deeper into your study of this art form.
