Dancing Is Only Part of the Job: An Immersive Course in Dance Entrepreneurship

ABSTRACT This article details my journey in teaching the college course Topics in Dance Entrepreneurship in the spring of 2017. The students, with my support, built a performing dance collective from the ground up. They learned how to self-produce, create a mission statement, work with producing partners, curate and learn repertory, and work in the community, giving performances to populations of all ages. In a nutshell, the course prepared the dancers for work they will encounter outside of the studio and classroom environment, giving them real-world experiences.
