NEDA Toolkit: A Resource For Dance Teachers

by

The National Eating Disorders Association [NEDA] has launched a new educational toolkit that could be extremely helpful to those who instruct dance. Although it is primarily geared toward athletic departments, athletic programs and gyms, any dance instructor can benefit from having a good knowledge of eating disorders.

This resource has information from nutritionists, coaches and even from Kate Thomas, Director of The School at Steps Dance School.

Information covered includes:

+ The facts about eating disorders

+ Help with identifying those affected by eating disorders

+ A guide to possible treatments

New Dance Site: Pas de Trois at dancing3.com

by

Well, to end the week we’ve got a new announcement here at 4dancers…

There is an exciting new project that I am a part of which will be starting on Monday. Henrik at Tights and Tiaras, David at Ballet for Men and I have been preparing this new site for a little while now…it’s called Pas de Trois (at dancing3.com) and we hope that you will join us as we explore the world of dance together.

Through Pas de Trois, we hope to get a lot of different perspectives on dance. Each week we will be featuring a new topic that will be posted on the site. Every couple days one of us will share our answer on our respective blogs, and we’ll always be encouraging you to take part as well.

It is our hope that Pas de Trois will serve as an online community where both dancers and dance lovers can talk about a variety of subjects related to the art.

We’ll announce our first discussion topic later today on the site. Also, check out our Facebook-page, join the discussion on Twitter, or add our RSS feed to your reader.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts as well!

Antony Tudor

by

When I think of Antony Tudor, his ballet, The Leaves are Fading immediately springs to mind. Tudor had an enormous impact on the ballet world when I was growing up, and is still well-known throughout the dance world for his choreography. I always felt that Tudor’s work was informed by our collective human psyche. It impacts you.

One of the most famous quotes about Tudor’s work comes from none other than Mikhail Baryshnikov who said, “We do Tudor’s ballets because we must. Tudor’s work is our conscience.”

For more information on Tudor, and a list of all the ballets he choreographed, visit The Antony Tudor Ballet Trust.

Those interested in reading about him in more detail may want to pick up the book, Undimmed Lustre: The Life of Antony Tudor for a closer look at his life–and his art.
