Studios for Equity, Prevention, and Science
Created by Apolla & Turning Pointe Dance Creations
This training module on Establishing a Racially Equitable Dance Studio Culture is designed to give studio owners and dance educators a better understanding of why it is imperative to use their platform to fight injustice in the community. Through a series of brief modules, participants will receive suggestions on practical ways that they can establish a positive, inclusive, anti-racist culture in their studios and classes.
Beyond The Steps
Turning Pointe Dance Creations and Apolla Performance have partnered to create Beyond the Steps a live weekly online show that is designed to spark discussion and dialogue around the important issues in the dance community. Each week, they dive into topics and give dance and baton twirling educators education and perspective from experts. Topics will cover racism, gender equity, sex abuse and prevention, nutrition, and dance science.
Their ultimate goal is to encourage people to go a step beyond and make an impact on the dance world by sharing perspectives. The series is hosted by Melissa McDaniel, of Turning Pointe Dance Creations and Brianne Zborowski, of Apolla Performance
