How can you help advocate for the power of dance and dance education and promote #ThankADanceTeacherDay? Below are steps to take between now and Thursday, May 6th!
1) View the Behind the Curtain Blog: NDEO Members Thank their Dance Teachers
2) Like and Share the Facebook #ThankADanceTeacherDay Event
3) Create your own thank-you message or story about a special dance teacher that had a positive impact on YOUR life and post it on your personal social media accounts using the hashtag #ThankADanceTeacherDay on Thursday, May 6, 2021.

#ThankADanceTeacherDay is a global movement to shine the spotlight on dance education and the teachers who make it possible. It was started in 2014 by the National Dance Education Organization to raise awareness of the benefits of dance education through social media. A quality dance education can have a life-changing impact on students, providing physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and psychological benefits. Professional development allows dance teachers to provide a better dance education experience for their students, as the teachers take what they learn back to their studios, classrooms, and communities!

Thank A Dance Teacher Day is a program of the National Dance Education Organization, and we've teamed up with CLI Studios to help spread the word and recognize the importance of dance teachers in the lives of their students.

Share your story of how a dance teacher has impacted your life on social media on Thursday, May 6, 2021 by using the hashtag #ThankADanceTeacherDay

NDEO urges dance enthusiasts of all kinds (dancers, former dancers, current students, teachers, dance dads & moms, fans, etc.) to participate in Thank a Dance Teacher Day by sharing their "thank a dance teacher" story on social media.
