Program Dates: January 4-17, 2009
Students collaborate with professional dancers, educators, and students both at the Royal Ballet Academy and at Makerere University. Through dance classes, outreach programs, and meeting with Ugandan officials of state, students develop a global perspective as related to dance and the performing arts that will positively and explicitly impact their future teaching and learning.
Students take classes in traditional Ugandan dance, teaching methodologies, and Ugandan school structures at Makerere University. Students also work with children from the refugee camp in Gulu at the Royal Ballet and Modern Dance School, teaching and choreographing.
