Description

Dance education is often likened to a Chinese proverb: 'A minute of work seen on stage takes 10 years of work off stage.' And while talent plays a role, education stands as the primary pillar shaping a dancer's journey. In our exploration of dance education during our first season, we delved into academia and the art of learning. Now, we take a closer look at the business of education, focusing on the creation of teaching resources essential for dance educators in the form of Dance Ed Tips.

Enter Olivia Mode-Cater, the visionary behind DET, founded in 2017 to empower dancers and dance teachers across the nation with a rich array of teaching resources and learning materials. With a solid background as a seasoned dance educator and entrepreneur, Olivia is a sought-after presenter, sharing her expertise on both national and international platforms. Her journey as Director of Dance Education at Hofstra University established the institution's dance education program among the Top 30 in the United States, recognized for its high-quality teacher preparation training.

Continuing a brand new season and month of Dance Education, this episode explores Olivia's trailblazing journey while unveiling the secrets behind her innovative transformation in dance education. Ready to discover the educator within you? Join us as we foreground dance in the background!
