NDEO offers OPDI-128: Foundations of Dance Education Research through our Online Professional Development Institute. This course introduces novice dance education researchers and “research curious” dance educators and students to the goals, logics, and practices of social science-based dance education research.
NDEO’s National Conference is the largest member-driven dance education conference in the United States, featuring more than 250 presentations given over three session days. Presenters from the NDEO membership share theoretical and practice-based research through a variety of formats, including workshops, movement classes, and paper, poster, or panel presentations. Each spring, we invite presentation proposals related to the Conference theme. Dance education professionals from every sector are invited to submit a proposal. Proposals are reviewed by a panel of adjudicators from the membership.
