There is still an opportunity to present your work at our 2026 National Conference in Albuquerque, NM. Poster Presentations are a great option for folks who are looking to dip their toes into the world of presenting. Our Poster Presentations take place in a communal setting to allow for attendees to stop by mutiple presenters and ask questions over the course of an hour and half. There are typically 15-20 presenters sharing their work and answering questions.
Please see below for guidance on how to prepare a Poster Presentation.
Dance is, at its heart, a practice in creativity, cooperation, and collaboration.
When dance educators work together, it strengthens the entire dance ecosystem. NDEO is one of the few dance organizations that serves educators working in every sector of the field, and we believe in honoring the synergy between them. One third of our members teach or work primarily in higher education, one third of our members teach or work primarily in K-12 schools, and one third of our members teach or work primarily in dance studios, community organizations, and teaching artist programs. Regardless of where we teach, dance is our common denominator. When we collaborate together, we move closer to our goal of Dance Education for ALL.
We invite dance educators in all sectors, genres, and career stages to apply to present sessions centered around this year’s theme: SYNERGY: Uniting to Progress the Field of Dance Education. Share your visions, successes, challenges, and works in progress. In a period of turbulence for our country and our field, we need each other more than ever. Now is the time to join forces and buoy each other up with support and collaboration. Join us next September as we convene in Albuquerque, New Mexico to progress the field of dance education.
