PS DANCE! THE NEXT GENERATION shows what happens when students become the teachers.
When Ann Biddle, founding faculty of the Dance Education Laboratory (DEL), moved to Northampton, MA, she was determined to bring dance education to all of 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 DEL’s teaching methods and emerged inspired and empowered.
Each year, they put into practice what they’ve learned by leading elementary school students in a three-week dance intensive! This unique combination of community service, mentoring, collaborative teaching and high-level training is nothing short of transformational. PS DANCE! THE NEXT GENERATION, follows the journey of Ann and her students as they build confidence, learn responsibility and find their passion.
The makers of New York Emmy Award-nominated PS DANCE! are back to prove that with ingenuity and commitment, every school can be a dance school. Created by filmmaker Nel Shelby and dance ambassador Jody Gottfried Arnhold.
