MÓTUS Dance launches a new network for dance educators

The MK Dance Educators Network is an exciting new initiative from MÓTUS Dance to provide space for those working in dance education in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire to upskill, connect and share ideas. All those working in dance education are welcome to take part in these free Sessions, including teachers in and out of school settings, outreach managers and community dance practitioners.

Cameron Ball, Artistic Director of MÓTUS Dance, said:

“The diversity of those working in dance education in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire is vast, but what binds us is our love of dance and its positive influence on young people. Feedback tells us that dance educators often work in siloed settings and enjoy opportunities to connect with like minded people and enhance their practice. We look forward to welcoming a wide range of practitioners to the MK Dance Educators Network to share knowledge and enhance and expand their work.”
