When Ann Biddle, founding faculty of the Dance Education Laboratory (DEL), moved to Northampton, MA, she was determined to bring dance education to the schools in her new town.
She turned to her students to make it happen. High school and middle school dance students were immersed in the DEL teaching methods to teach elementary school students dance. Students emerged inspired and empowered to become the next generation of dance educators.
Created by dance ambassador Jody Gottfried Arnhold and filmmaker Nel Shelby, PS DANCE! The Next Generation follows the journey of Ann and her students as they build confidence, learn responsibility, and find their passion through the DEL model.
This event features a screening of PS DANCE! The Next Generation and a talkback with Jody Gottfried Arnhold and esteemed guests.
