Ongoing education, trying new challenges, and life-long learning are hallmarks of engaged and growing humans. Dance Resource provides professional development in dance, or using dance as a tool for engagement, for different audiences and in different venues.
For school personnel: Dance Resource workshops introduce teachers, school staff and/or volunteers to dance elements and forms, and draws clear connects to skills and social values our students need to learn. Workshops can be content-specific (reading skills, design skills, dance movement language, physical education/development, history/ math/science lessons, or team-building, for example), address the joys and challenges of having a body, moving and creating or "Hosting Artists".
For dance professionals: Dance Resource workshops or consultations help artists develop skills to work with different audiences (school children, people with disabilities, elders, for example), classroom management skills, planning classes, "reading" the audience or "Working in Schools".
For business clients: Dance Resource provides workshops to build trust and teams ("Moving into Teams"), to manage anger and conflict ("Disarming"), and to develop relaxation/rejuvenation skills ("Release, Ready, Flow").
All Dance Resource workshops are presented by qualified professional dance movement artists and can be conducted on site or in a neutral space off-site.
