About the Workshop

This 3?hour workshop is for dancers ready to step beyond performance and begin shaping themselves as full artists.

We open with a Dance Identity share — a solo, a teaching clip, or any movement expression. This is not an evaluation; it’s a grounding exercise to help you reflect on your voice and artistic identity.

From there, we move into the realities of today’s dance field:

•  How the dance ecosystem and its economics actually work

•  What sustainability looks like for artists today

•  Trauma?informed principles as a foundation for safer, more effective teaching and artistry

•  The evolving definition of “artist” in a competitive landscape

You Will Leave With

•  A clearer sense of your artistic identity

•  A realistic understanding of the dance industry

•  Tools for positioning yourself as a future teaching artist

•  A pathway toward sustainable, long?term practice

Who Should Attend

Dancers and teaching artists seeking clarity, direction, and professional grounding.
