Resources for Educators
Dear Educators & School Representatives,
Welcome to the Educator’s Resource page! It is our wish for the educational community to connect with our organization in order to be more effective as educators and of course, DANCE. We can work with you to design specific dance programs that connect with school curricula and state standards, perform for your school or simply be a resource for students who show an interest in dance. Throughout the next year, we intend to provide a “forum” for Connecticut educators interested in incorporating dance into their students’ lives and academic studies.
Please feel free to contact us anytime with feedback or if you are in need of a dance education reference.
Sincerely,
Dana Rodriguez
Director of Education
Center for Dance Education Goals
Through our newly expanded program, we plan to offer:

and teachers with a richer dance experience

arts
specialists
- Residencies designed for specific school goals and objectives
