Her introduction to SCD teaching was rather sudden, as she was asked to teach the Munich group when the tutor left unexpectedly. The highlight of that experience was teaching &#8216;Machine Without Horses&#8217;, in German, to a group of non-SCDers! After returning to New Zealand, she undertook teacher training and gained her full certificate in January 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Susanna has taught junior dancers at\u00a0New Zealand Summer School, the Lower Hutt JAM class,\u00a0local primary schools and at two JAM camps, becoming the first tutor to attend a camp as a JAM and later return as a teacher! She has also taught Wellington Region adult classes and occasional club nights. She loves introducing Scottish dancing to those who have not yet discovered it, and enjoys acting as a caller at Scottish ceilidh dances.<\/p><\/div><div class='clear_column'><\/div><\/div>\n<hr style=\"background-color: #000;\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-tutors","category-current-tutor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lhscdc.jumbletree.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lhscdc.jumbletree.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lhscdc.jumbletree.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhscdc.jumbletree.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhscdc.jumbletree.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lhscdc.jumbletree.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5229\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lhscdc.jumbletree.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhscdc.jumbletree.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhscdc.jumbletree.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
