3K-PREK CREATE

Multilingual Learners Dance Pilot
In spring 2023, DEL launched a Multilingual Learners (MLL) Dance Pilot Project in collaboration with NYC DOE Office of Arts for Diverse Learners. Using our Tracing Footsteps Journey Into Jazz Dance: Let’s Swing curriculum, DEL customized four lessons to build intentional practices for teaching language learners in grades K-5. Dance Educators and English as a New Language providers learn how to provide dance instruction with proven language strategies so all students grow creatively, and build dance and language skills.
City-Wide Professional Learning
DEL collaborates with the Office of Arts to provide city-wide dance professional learning workshops for NYCDOE dance educators.
See highlights from our January 2023 on the Tracing Footsteps – Journey Into Jazz Dance: Let’s Swing! Curriculum, below.
