Dr. Patricia Reedy, Luna Founder and Director of Creativity & Pedagogy, will facilitate a conversation about how we as teaching artists can assess the experiences and learning happening in our classes in ways that feel authentic and aligned with our goals and values.

Teaching Family Dance Workshop
Sunday, February 22, 12-3pm, via Zoom
Learn to facilitate relationship-enhancing dance lessons for people of all ages, with special focus on young children and their caregivers. This workshop is grounded in Luna’s decades of action research into Family Dance through our Moving Parents and Children Together (MPACT) program, which have clearly shown us that connection, trust, engagement, and empathy are strengthened between family members when they dance and create together.

Special bonus: Participants will be able to watch a livestreamed Family Dance class taught by Luna faculty that morning, 10-10:50am, to see concepts from the workshop in action!
Email Kimiko at [email protected] for more information and to register. Tuition cost is $195.
