Undergraduate dance education courses vary widely – whether they are specifically about "creative dance for children," or a course offers a broad overview for teaching both youth and adults. 

The following posts on the blog can offer inspiration within these courses to consider the larger questions about dance education – why it is important, what is the dynamic relationship for a dancer between teaching and artistry, and a current pulse on how often professional dancers have teaching as their main source of income. 

You can also find more posts under the category on the right, "Blog Series: Becoming a Teaching Artist," on topics such as prep time, book resources, feedback, etc. that might also be useful to read and discuss within a course.
