Dance Media Launches DanceTeacher+—an Exclusive Membership Platform for Dance Educators and Studio Owners
With a rich toolkit of teaching resources, DanceTeacher+ is an all-new digital platform dedicated to nurturing the next generation.
New York, NY, February 11, 2022—Dance Media, in conjunction with Dance Teacher (dance-teacher.com), has announced the launch of DanceTeacher+—an all-new digital platform dedicated to bringing dance educators and studio owners the resources they need to advance their teaching practice and nurture the next generation.
Dance educators and business owners can now invest in their ongoing professional development by accessing the platform’s growing collection of exclusive content, including expert-led teaching videos, technique and artistry tips, professional advice on supporting students’ mental health and physical well-being, dance history lessons that enlighten students about the lives and legacies of dance icons like Alvin Ailey, Maria Tallchief and Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, and music playlists from an all-star lineup of teaching artists, including Kathryn Morgan and Chloe Arnold. Additionally, DanceTeacher+ members will be privy to the platform’s upcoming features—lesson plans, insightful hosted conversations and more.
"DanceTeacher+ was built for today's dance educators who straddle many roles and responsibilities by offering them much-needed resources: quality educational content, exclusive product and service offers, access to a wide network of dance professionals, practical lesson plans, playlists, and technique breakdowns to supplement daily classes,” said Joanna Harp, publisher and chief revenue officer of Dance Media.
Known for its journalistic excellence in the field of dance education, Dance Teacher’s robust team of writers and reporters will also continue to deliver meaningful and impactful stories so its close-knit community of DanceTeacher+ members—from K–12 to private studios and conservatories to universities—can stay creative and current.
"For over 40 years, Dance Teacher has been a source of advice and inspiration for dance educators, and we are thrilled to further the brand our readers know and love with DanceTeacher+,” said Reanne Rodrigues, Dance Teacher’s editor in chief. “Now, dance educators and studio owners can equip themselves with tried-and-tested teaching methods that enhance student engagement, learn techniques for inclusive and differentiated instruction, and develop the artistic tools they need to craft dynamic choreography.”
Members of DanceTeacher+ will enjoy additional perks, such as monthly newsletters, exclusive deals from DanceTeacher+ partner brands, and a one-year print subscription to Dance Magazine—the sister publication that has been inspiring and informing professional dancers, students and dance lovers since 1927.
"DanceTeacher+ is dedicated to the success of individuals in the dance education field and provides even more insight and inspiration to support dance teachers in their careers as both educators and entrepreneurs,” said Frederic M. Seegal, CEO/chairman of Dance Media. “It’s exactly what the dance education field needs right now—a space to forge connections and build a community of dance educators who are passionate about advancing the next generation of artists, leaders and thinkers.”
