Arts in Education
In order to share the joy of dance with a broad-based population and to build resiliency in
"at risk" children, CDT supports 800 scholarship students in area schools. The
scholarships are part of the Side-by-Side Teacher Training Residency,which is designed to bring
dance into the classroom by helping teachers incorporate dance and movement into the curriculum.
This process provides teachers and students with another set of skills to use and build upon.
Other outreach services provide opportunities for in-depth exposure to the art of dance. These
include teacher workshops, lecture/demonstrations or school performances. In Utah, teachers
participating in these educational activities receive grade-specific lesson plans based on the
Utah State Core Curriculum, assuring a complete artistic experience for each child. CDT faculty
work with teachers and administrators to provide age- and grade-level appropriate experiences.
