Dance Education Resources

This page contains information about the latest happenings in dance education in our state such as the current on-going process of revising the Dance Standards. When this revision is complete, the dance standards will be found on this page and on the Colorado Department of Education web site. If you are looking for class information or where to study dance in Colorado, please visit our listings page.

On this page you will also find a copy of the CDA brochure which outlines what you should look for when selecting a dance studio and instructor for your child. This dance education checklist will inform you about dance instructor qualifications and the overall structure of a well-designed dance program along with pointers on dance classroom safety, rigor and appropriate enrichment experiences.

Finally, information relevant to the status of dance education in the United States is found on this page as well. This content has been reprinted from the National Dance Education Organization’s new web site. The NDEO mission is advancing dance education centered in the arts.
