Abstract
Two dance educators, one from the independent sector and one from higher education, have cowritten this article to discuss the important links between independent studios and college dance programs. We provide the history, evolution, and goals of the DANCE 2050 think tank, which currently focuses on shared values in dance education across sectors. We then relay our conversation about connections and variances between studio dance education and tertiary dance education.
