I'm honored to be working on a team of folk dance teachers from across the country who are addressing these questions.
If you have ever considered learning how to teach folk dance, know that there is a cadre of mentors across the country (and in Canada) who are ready to work with you one-on-one to develop your skills. Apply to be a mentee at the Mentoring Project website.
