Teach a donation-based dance/movement class
Company: Dance to the People
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Compensation: 100% of donations
For eight weeks, twice a year, BAX | Brooklyn Arts Exchange provides a home for Dance To The People to curate donation based classes, inviting teachers who seek to develop a particular technique, or answer specific movement questions, hence making the learning space a collective laboratory.
This series is geared towards the professional development of dance teachers and as a means to offer affordable dance classes to a wide community of dance lovers and movers.
By offering a collective alternative in the exchange of knowledge in the dance/arts community, Dance to the People mirrors BAX’s commitment to challenge the manifestations of whiteness, able-bodiedness and privilege through anti-oppression, and pro-inclusion work.
Classes are every Monday from 6:30pm to 8pm, from September 17 to November 5, 2018.
To submit your class, please email the following information to dancetothepeople@gmail.com
- Name, one paragraph short bio, and a picture of you — preferably in movement - this is for us to promote your class.
- Dance Style*
- Brief description of the class
- Experience required of participants
Preferred date of participation. Because it’s our goal to strengthen the community, you should plan to attend at least one class by someone else. DO NOT APPLY IF YOU CAN’T COME TO SOMEONE ELSE’S CLASS. Dates: 9/17, 9/24, 10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22, 10/29, 11/5.

Note: We have only a few spots left :(
Preference will be given to classes that are phisically engaging to an advanced level, but apt for people with less experience with the vocabulary. That is, make it hard, but make it fun.
All of Dance To The People's events are donation based, as our goal is to promote a culture of mutual exchange. A suggested donation will be advertised. All proceeds from the donations will go to the dance teacher of the day. There’s no extra compensation for class, so please help out with spreading the word.
*Anything from Modern to Butoh to House. At DTTP we want to encourage diversity and any kind of dance or movement study is fostered, as long as it provides intentional strategies for movement research. No tap or street shoes.
