Dance Teaching Artists

Dance in the Schools creates a team of 10-20 Dance Teaching Artists yearly. All of them are experienced in incorporating academic content into their sessions and many have ongoing relationships with Cambridge elementary school teachers through their work with Dance in the Schools.

Our Dance Teaching Artists have advanced degrees in dance, education, and other artistic disciplines. Many teach Creative Movement, Ballet, African dance, Flamenco, Jazz, Colonial and Renaissance dance, Hip Hop, Yoga and other movement forms professionally. Dance Teaching Artists may have preferences and/or expertise geared towards certain grades or age groups, and are skilled in working with students with all learning abilities.
