thoughts on dance education and life... where I hope to explore issues and questions around dance education, tell stories from my years of teaching practice and the lessons that I have learned... and perhaps generate some conversation.

getting the point…
I can tell kids that dance is learned through daily practice until I'm blue in the face, but usually they just have to figure it out for themselves... In a dance journal reflection on her first semester in Dance, one of my students wrote: “the first quarter I started off pretty bad, but now I have been improving, participating every day. Well, I don’t know… when you really do participate the dances stick to you – when you just watch the class you may know the moves but you’re just not able to dance it.” Priceless!
