Education & Outreach Programs
"DanceWorks has proven to be an invaluable resource for my own work in the classroom on a number of levels. Practically speaking, it has given me a level of dance literacy at a time when I have assumed the role of dance teacher through the revised curriculum. As a teacher in an integrated arts environment, my collaboration with DanceWorks has furnished me with the confidence to take artistic risks in the classroom and opened up new possibilities for differentiated instruction. An example of this is my current math unit in patterning where I am using dance to illustrate the Fibonacci sequence. For my students, the interaction with the artists has given them an important window to the professional world, where hopefully a few of them have seen their own reflection."
