  • Ask a Fellow LIVE! – May 16, 2022

    FREE

    Ask a Fellow is an open, informal exchange where Luna’s teaching artist fellows practice sharing their experience, inquiry, and expertise and the larger community of practitioners has a place to ask questions small and large. Everything you wanted to know about teaching dance but were afraid to ask!

    Do you have a question about family dance, inclusive teaching practice, responsive teaching, or any other aspect of dance teaching? Are you curious about something in dance education, but don’t have a fully formed question? That’s okay! Bring your questions to Ask a Fellow LIVE!, a live free Zoom panel conversation with our fellows addressing your inquiries. Or submit questions in advance, below. After the panel until May 31, fellows will respond to questions in audio, video, and written formats, so keep them coming!
