Teaching

"Dance in education emphasizes process, not product, adjudication not competition, rating not ranking, sharing not winning, creativity not conventions, feedback not trophies, divergent possibilities not singular solutions, qualitative not quantitative tallies. Dance education builds contributing citizens, visionary leaders, creative collaborators, and empowered artists." - National Dance Education Organization
