So many exciting things!

 What wonderful things have I experienced over the last year?  I presented in July at the ISMETA/NDEO conference in New York.  I was honored to share Eastwest Somatics  Practices and guide a workshop on somatic leadership in dance education.  Dr. Matthew Henley and I published new research in The International Journal of Arts Education, "Gripping the Landscape: Understanding Learning in Dance through the Skilled Intentionality Framework." I continue to build the dance program at Appomattox Regional Governor's School for the Arts & Technology.  Last year select students traveled to New York to perform at Brooklyn Arts Exchange with Johnnie Mercer's The REDProjectNYC and our program received funding through CultureWorks to host Cora Dance for multiple residencies to guide ARGS and local middle school students in their Crossroads Project.  This summer I will travel to Greece to teach alongside Amy Bush at the Eastwest Somatics Institute Greece Retreat.  A few weeks after that I will teach at the Florence Summer Dance Intensive in Italy.  Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
