Teacher development opportunity
Teaching Dance is a new opportunity for professional dance artists who are looking to develop their teaching practice. This pilot program will explore ways to develop a practice relevant to the knowledge and interests of the teacher and the skills required by today’s contemporary dancers.
This opportunity is aimed at those who have a strong interest in teaching dance and are either new to teaching or have some experience that they want to build on. Selected applicants will be invited to teach in a new public class program at WXYZ Studios (paid), participate in a development workshop and receive one-to-one feedback from the program mentor, Jo White.
