Offered annually as a yearlong experience, Summer Institute (SI) supports dance teaching artists and classroom teachers to activate and inspire individual and collective imaginations. Learning in a collegial group of diverse educators, SI participants improve teaching practice, gain confidence as professionals and develop long-lasting systems of support.
The SI experience includes a five-day summer intensive, a midyear weekend seminar, individualized coaching, peer exchanges and a final Gallery Walk. Funded in part by The National Endowment for the Arts, this program is offered at no cost to 12 individuals through a competitive application process.

It’s an election year, and time to keep arts in the minds of our candidates. Advocating for dance at the governmental policy level can be intimidating if you don’t know where to start or what kinds of small steps have impact. Americans for the Arts has some resources that can help, including ones that are state-specific. Find out what’s happening in your state, who your arts representatives and supporting organizations are, and how to get involved here.
