At Dance Education Canada, we believe strongly in providing dance educators with the tools and knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their dancers' well-being both cognitively and physically. Having met and spoken with many dance educators across the country and beyond, one of the most important conversations that ensues surrounds the assessment of our current practices, and how they consider the cognitive and physical well-being of the dancer.
