School-Based Classes

Now that the California State Department of Education has created content standards for the arts, schools are looking for teachers of dance.

We believe the most effective way to bring dance to the school curriculum is through a comprehensive program that allows both full integration of the art form and stand-alone classes. Developing such a program is a long range process. LKD helps school-based teachers, administrators and dance specialists create programs to meet the unique needs of their school populations. The consulting services LKD offers to schools include:

• teaching model dance classes
• facilitating parent/child dance classes and lecture/demonstrations
• facilitating communication between classroom teachers and dance specialists
• working with schools to design, implement and assess a dance education program
• helping schools hire dance artists; working with schools to fundraise and advocate for dance education

As schools write grant proposals for art inclusion, LKD can help strategize the best design for dance education in their communities. Contact us for fees and information.
