CSU invites you, our K-12 Colorado Educators, to join us on campus for four days to learn about movement and dance education, along with innovative ways to integrate what you’ve learned into the Academic Curriculum. Guest speakers, university faculty, and education specialists present the latest research and tools to help you to reach more students, offer innovative ways to teach our core curriculum, and learn about how our state is supporting our efforts.
Seminar topics include: Let’s Move! Dance Skills, Concepts and Comprehensive Learning; Dance Movement Science and the Human Brain; Colorado Dance Standards, Assessment, and Curriculum Planning; Dance Collaboration across K-12, Higher Education and the Broader Community; and Integrated Arts Initiatives in Education.

Additional presenters will include arts educators from CSU and across Colorado as well as education and integrated arts specialists focused on bringing movement into the classroom.
