Listen Later

Today’s guest is the incredible Katie Wilber—a nationally recognized dance educator, choreographer, creative strategist, and marketing professional with more than 15 years of experience in the dance industry. As a former professional dancer and teaching artist, Katie has performed and taught across the country, bringing together artistic excellence and a deep commitment to human-centered learning.

In our conversation, we dive into what it means to teach from a truly student-centered perspective. Katie shares insights on prioritizing the unique needs of the dancers in front of us, empowering students with greater autonomy in their learning, and creating environments where they can thrive both inside and outside the studio. We explore the constructivist teaching philosophy, discuss the value of transparent leadership, and reflect on how educators can better support the next generation of dancers. I know you’ll walk away feeling inspired with practical ideas and a fresh perspective on teaching and leadership. Enjoy the episode!
