Luna’s Leadership Institute (LI) supports the development of current and emerging dance education leaders through a transformative 12-18 month professional development experience.
“I was afraid to be great—to be too big. I am here [now] to honor all that I am.”
– Leadership Institute alum
Tailored to the goals and needs of the 6-member cohort, the Leadership Institute includes one-on-one mentorship and year-long coaching by Luna’s leadership team, collegial discussion and support, and a culminating 4-day seminar with workshops by Luna faculty and guest facilitators.
“I found my voice as an advocate for dance education and regained confidence as a professional in my teaching community.”
– Leadership Institute alum
Over the year, LI participants clarify their visions for shaping exemplary dance programs in their communities, develop confidence in their ability to make significant impact in areas they are passionate about, strengthen their leadership skills, and invigorate their voices as advocates for dance education.
Leadership Institutes are held once every 2-3 years, and application is by invitation. Stay tuned for when we will offer our next LI.
“I have not changed very much in the clarity of my vision and purposes; but what has changed greatly for me is my perception of myself as able to effect change and bring about my visions.”
