What is the Dance Educators Training Institute (DETI)?
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 intensive professional development programs for artists teaching dance, called the Dance Educators Training Institute (DETI). These week-long workshops are designed to enable participants to delve deeper into their artistic pursuits and to enhance their pedagogical techniques in a challenging and supportive environment. For more information on DETI, visit this page.
Who is DETI intended to serve?
Sessions are open to the public, with a particular interest to serve choreographers, performers, highly experienced dance educators as well as 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 the workshops.
Continuing Professional Development Course (CPD)
Course Description: This Dance Composition and Design course is an examination of the choreographic tools and processes through the development of improvisational techniques, compositional basics, the elements of compositional design, and the critical response process as well as the creation of new choreography. This course supports the mentoring of student compositions and refinement of best practices for compositional development at all instructional levels.
Attendance to at least 15 hours of the DETI and submission of a lesson plan that demonstrates the use of dance composition and design is required. Participants respond to written reflection evaluations at the conclusion of the DETI. To receive MSDE credit for attending DETI participants must register using the BCPS on-line registration system. Non-BCPS employees will register as a guest. The course is listed in the catalog called “PDC In-service Catalog – CPD Courses Catalog.” The direct link to the course registration is below (log-in required):
