From Blog Director Jill Randall:
Looking back at the 165 artist profiles and monthly features from the past 6 years, I have selected 23 blog posts to use within a college Freshman Seminar Course. These 23 pieces offer a wide range of viewpoints and seeds of inspiration as students embark on a 4-year dance major. Dancers talk about holding multiple roles within dance, earning an income, securing performing gigs, learning how to teach, and much more. Students will read about artists from around the United States.
You can share the links below, or print out each post to include in a course reader.
Feedback and stories are always welcome – randalldanceprojects@gmail.com.
