#ThankADanceTeacherDay is a global movement to shine the spotlight on dance education and the teachers who make it possible. It was started in 2014 by the National Dance Education Organization (NDEO) to raise awareness of the benefits of dance education through social media. A quality dance education can have a life-changing impact on students, providing physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and psychological benefits.
If you believe in making a difference for the next generation of dance teachers, we encourage you to consider making a donation to NDEO’s #DanceEducationForAll Fund: Donate by Clicking Here. Donations support our Professional Development Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships for continuing education classes that help teachers better serve their students and advance their careers.
In the past we've teamed up with CLI Studios to help spread the word and recognize the importance of dance teachers in the lives of their students.
Share your story of how a dance teacher has impacted your life on social media on Thursday, May 5, 2022 by using the hashtag #ThankADanceTeacherDay
NDEO urges dance enthusiasts of all kinds (dancers, former dancers, current students, teachers, dance dads & moms, fans, etc.) to participate in Thank a Dance Teacher Day by sharing their "thank a dance teacher" story on social media.
