Dancing is a form of knowledge production, creative expression, and critical inquiry.

All forms of dancing are valuable as paths to building conscious awareness of ourselves, of other people, and of our world.

Dance training, performances, and creative processes are forms of embodied knowledge, meaning they involve and require research, perseverance, and creative problem-solving.

As educators, we value collaboration, exploration, and curiosity. Our classes are places where students and teachers share ideas and think outside of-and beyond-what we may already know about a topic or an approach to learning and dancing.

Dance and dancing are multimodal practices that are enriched through moving, viewing, reading, speaking, listening, writing, and practicing together.

Dancing can reinforce and/or dismantle social, political, and cultural systems and structures.
