Every year in our summer issue, we honor four dance educators for their outstanding contributions to the field. Recipients have included studio owners, professors, program directors, K–12 teachers and more, whose specialties run the gamut of dance genres.
We need your help to identify this year’s best in the profession. Do you have a colleague or mentor who deserves to be recognized as a leader and role model?
Send your nomination by March 1, 2020. You can e-mail us at danceteachereditors@dancemedia.com with the following details:
- Award category: Studios and Conservatories; Colleges and Universities; K–12.
- School or studio name and location, nominee’s position at the institution.
- Nominee’s contact info.

- In 200 words or less, tell us why this teacher deserves an award. What are their leadership qualities, for instance, and list some notable accomplishments. Feel free to include any helpful photos or videos, as well!
