Education for Educators
“Ensure the well-being of the person first, for it is only then that the true essence of teaching can flourish.”

Teaching Dance for Everybody
A training model for teachers who teach dance and wish to prioritize the inclusion of students across disabilities. This workshop not only supports teachers in expanding their own knowledge of students' different possible access needs, but also opens the possibilities which come from inviting different embodiments and perspectives into the classroom.
What can someone else’s difference teach you about the parts you were taught to suppress in order to “fit into” models that do not prioritize your care, connection, and liberation? How can you center those of us who can’t participate in those models, and by doing so reintegrate the excluded parts of yourself?
