Yesterday, Professor Camille and the Eboard of Coppin State's newly formed chapter of the National Honor Society of Dance Arts traveled to the Maryland Dance Educators Association MDEA conference to learn, grow, and connect with dance educators in the field. 💫

During this professional development opportunity, they took movement classes and sessions aimed at reaching the next generation of dance learners, gathering tools and perspectives they'll carry back to our campus, into their future careers, and communities.

A highlight of the day was connecting with our own alum, Monet, who is now a dance educator in Prince George's County Public Schools. Seeing our students meet a graduate who is living out the work is a powerful reminder of where this path can lead. 🙌🏾

We're proud of these emerging leaders for showing up, staying curious, and investing in their craft. Press play for a look back at their day! 🎥

Thank you to MDEA for a rich, inspiring gathering.

✨ Something new is taking root at Coppin State Dance ✨
We're building a Dance Restorative Space for our dance program! ☘️

This space will house our new Pilates reformer, giving our students a place to strengthen, train, and practice. It will also offer one-on-one support and wellness services, including assisted stretching and other services, so our dancers can care for their bodies as seriously as they train them. Healthy dancers make powerful artists. This is what restoration looks like in our program.

We're in the early phases of development, and we want you to be part of the journey. Stay tuned as we share the transformation process, from vision to ready-to-move. 👀🙌🏾

Who gets to decide what dance is valued, taught, or considered "good"? In Intro to Dance, our students are wrestling with Meaning, Change, Community, and Power, and their sticky notes show real critical thinking. From dance histories crossing borders to the influence of media and social platforms, they're asking the questions that shape the field. 🌱

What does a day in the life of a dance major really look like? We handed the camera to one of our newest dance majors, Chymorah, and let her show you. 🎥

From the first alarm to the last assignment, she takes you through ballet and modern technique, studio time with a student choreographer, and the moments in between. Real days. Real work. Real community.

At Coppin State University, our dance students train, create, and grow together in Baltimore, at an HBCU that believes in their voices!

A big thank you to chymorah for sharing her day with us!
