Oakland University and NDEO invites dance educators from K-12, higher education, and the private sector to come together in person for this Special Topics Conference to spark creativity, embrace the joy of communal experience, and hold space for the myriad ways we can work together to create data-driven and evidence-based methods of Dance Education. Connect with others to create, collaborate, plan, and strategize how we can advance our field and meet the needs of our students in the 21st century. We look forward to working with you to create new perspectives that will help propel the field of Dance Education forward.
