Cool Down/Hall Meeting

5:30-6pm

Tristan Koepke and Allie James

YDW has always had a unique aspect to the program: direct mentorship with working dance professionals. Our mentors have all studied dance in higher education and are currently major contributors to the field of dance as performers, choreographers, organizers, and educators. Each day directly following our classes, students will be invited to join our mentorship team in virtual “hall meetings.” Students will have an opportunity to build life-long connections with peers and colleagues from around the world, as well as gain valuable insight from the mentors on navigating balancing professional and personal interests with successful career in dance. Hall meeting topics will include dance in higher education, self-care and body-awareness, and navigating multiple career paths.
