Letter From the Editor: Start Summer on Strong Footing
Our dancers spend countless hours on their feet—let’s help them take better care of them.
If you’re looking for practical ways to build strength, improve articulation, and support long-term foot health, I hope you’ll join us for our next DT+ Teacher Talk, “Exercises for Strong, Supple Feet,” on Thursday, July 23, at 12 pm EDT. You’ll leave with exercises you can use in class right away and have the chance to ask your own questions live. Look out for the registration link in your inbox—we look forward to seeing you there!
Beyond our upcoming webinar, this month’s lineup is packed with practical teaching resources and inspiring stories from across the dance world. You’ll find expert guidance on helping dancers channel performance adrenaline, encouraging meaningful friendships that strengthen studio culture, and discovering new ways to support your students both in and out of the studio.
We’re also highlighting the lasting impact of artists and educators, including Dr. Andrea Markus, Jerron Herman, Paul Taylor, and E.T.A. Hoffmann, along with our annual summer dance-book roundup to keep you inspired all season long.
I hope this month’s collection of articles offers you fresh ideas, meaningful perspectives, and practical tools to support your teaching.
With gratitude,
