The Master of Arts program in Teaching Dance, All Grades leads to eligibility for initial New York State teacher certification. Students complete one semester of fieldwork and two semesters of supervised student teaching at New York City schools. The program's approach emphasizes the integration of the mind and body in the context of cultural practices through research and pedagogic- and discipline-based inquiries and facilitates the growth of creative and critical thinking abilities, thereby increasing your knowledge and expertise in dance and dance education. Discipline-based studies and scholarly research increases students’ knowledge and expertise and transforms the way educators understand and teach dance. For this reason, the programs’ faculty focus on creative, pedagogical, and research-based inquiries. A creative-based inquiry allows the dancer to master their craft with coursework that includes choreography, technique, and improvisation. Pedagogical-based inquiry enables deep understanding of learning and teaching processes with courses in teaching methods, and curriculum development. The research-based inquiry provides theory and methods courses for creating new knowledge in the field of dance education. Each line of inquiry incorporates practices based in social justice and community engagement.
