I think I will for the time being stick with the old, but I'm going to study this new one. Its simple-to-complex structure makes a lot of sense. <br /><br />What I love about the old format is that it presents the Classic vocabulary first, instilling it as the core of ATS. Then the newer, more dialectic steps can be added on in level 3, after the foundation is built. <br /><br />I love that the original format presents the heart and the old soul of ATS first. I love having the history of the art form built into the syllabus. <br /><br />That said, I do find the old format challenging time-wise. I struggle to pack all that info into 6 lessons or 12 lessons. So I added a 7th class to my L1 series, focusing on step transitions and group formations, and I throw an occasional extra class or two into L2, to spend more time on whatever I've skipped for lack of time. I hope this elongated version of the old format is ok with you!<br /><br />And I ache to get up to your studio to take the new-format classes! Life has just gotten in the way this year!Nancy Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593596555393714015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8045076187971015009.post-80720845089695705302015-09-17T22:42:21.145-07:002015-09-17T22:42:21.145-07:00Carolena, I love this!

I have really been contemplating something you mentioned about level 1 (if I caught your drift correctly), that it should be fun for people and ignite their embrace of ATSĀ®. To that end, something like the Chico is so fun and much less complex than other steps. And I like the flexibility of teaching turns in level 1. I will enjoy tinkering with the new format.<br /><br />Leslie from NapaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08212430039755428748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8045076187971015009.post-69598149074746718642015-09-16T11:23:58.803-07:002015-09-16T11:23:58.803-07:00Hi Freddie, please follow the link to www.fcbd.com...Hi Freddie, please follow the link to www.fcbd.com to see the full format for L1, L2 and L3.Carolena Nericcio-Bohlmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332153601619055688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8045076187971015009.post-73232414126517331072015-09-16T06:21:21.083-07:002015-09-16T06:21:21.083-07:00I love it.
