Lecture (45 minutes): Classroom style presentation accompanied by visual presentation slides (e.g., PowerPoint)
Lightning talk (10-15 minutes): Short presentations designed to articulate a topic in a quick, insightful, and clear manner in a way that grabs the audience's attention (think: TedTalk). Several lightning talks will be combined into one longer session.
Interactive workshop (45-60 minutes): Movement-based session with explanations/lecture material throughout. About half of the session is spent in movement mode, so participants learn and practice the concepts introduced in the session.
Specialty workout (45-60 minutes): Movement-based session to provide participants with the opportunity to experience well-designed workouts in a variety of different formats or modalities.
