I am incredibly humbled and honored to serve on the FDEO (Florida Dance Educators Organization) Board as we continue the conversation around dance, dance and education.

Thank you to everyone who came out to participate, share, learn, and support our beautiful community of dance educators here in Florida during our Day of Development. A special thank-you to our Chair, Jermaine, and our new Board President, Ellie, for an outstanding weekend of dance education, including the inspiring panel discussion, “From Modern to Contemporary: Sustaining the Legacy.”

Here’s to continuing the work, inspiring the next generation, and building lasting legacies through dance! 💙✨ by @fdeodance
