WELCOME BACK!✨

It’s our FAVORITE time of the year! We officially kicked off the 2026-2027 academic year earlier this week with our annual Welcome Celebration, welcoming the newest members of our AGDEP community after a restful summer 💜

President Dr. Nancy Cantor, School of Education Dean Dr. Jenny Tuten, and AGDEP Founder Jody Gottfried Arnhold joined us in welcoming our newest cohort of MA, Advanced Certificate, and MSEd students to our Hunter Dance community. Their warm welcome means the world to us, as our students become the newest cohort of Hunter Hawks 🦅

A special shout out to our new Hunter NHSDA Student Chapter President and Vice President, Elena Sundick (MA) and Paloma Arena (BA), who volunteered to help welcome our newest community members to Hunter College! Be on the lookout for more news from our National Honor Society for Dance Arts chapter later this month.

The Welcome Celebration is one of our favorite events each year, where our colleagues from the School of Education, Dance Department, and across the field of Dance and Dance Education come together to continue in our shared mission: Dance for Every Child 💃

We wish you a great semester ahead! 💫

Earlier this week, we had the joy of welcoming to Hunter College for a special masterclass with our current Dance and Dance Education students and AGDEP alumni 💃 Lizt shared her approach to Cuban Fusion dance with our students, leading us through a warm up and phrase work that emphasized a fusion of Cuban, Western concert, and African dance forms.

This workshop was especially special, as Lizt’s company is our partner in our annual study abroad trip to Havana, Cuba. 🇨🇺

This semester we welcomed acclaimed choreographer Ephrat Asherie to Hunter to work with our graduate dance and dance education students on creating and performing a new choreographic work. 👯 After weeks of hard work and rehearsal, “For the Record” premiered at our 2026 AGDEP Annual Concert last weekend! Featuring graduate students from both the Dance and Dance Education programs, this work supported collaboration across our programs and students. 🕺

More photos from our 2026 AGDEP Annual Concert are in! 🌟 The AGDEP Annual Concert is our culminating performance that features works by graduate dance education students at Hunter College. Through their work with Prof. Pedro Ruiz in the spring Performance & Presentation course, our dance education students create original choreographic works that reflect their artistic interests and research. Prof. Ruiz mentors students through the choreographic process from the inception of their creative ideas, through their development of meaningful structures/designs, intention, and final elements of their work. 💃

A special THANK YOU to our NYCPS dance teachers who invited Dr. Pastor Prada into their classrooms throughout the week, and to our partners at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and 92NY/DEL who met with Dr. Pastor Prada to share their frameworks for dance education 👩‍🏫
