Dance Educators Training Institute

We believe that outstanding teaching takes place when educators are passionate and engaged in their own artistic growth. ClancyWorks Dance Company and Baltimore County Public Schools Office of Music and Dance Education co-present an intensive professional development program for artists teaching dance, called the Dance Educators Training Institute (DETI). These summer workshops are designed to enable participants to delve deeper into their artistic pursuits and enhance their pedagogical techniques in a challenging and supportive environment.
Sessions are open to the public, with a particular interest to serve choreographers, performers, highly experienced dance educators, and teaching artists who are just beginning to work in the field of dance education. Administrators and participants from various arts and educational disciplines are invited and encouraged to attend.

“There are great set ups that you learn, usually trying to go deeper than just the movements in class. DETI dives deeper into philosophical, psychological, pedagogy, and thought that helps shape us into better artists.” – DETI Participant
