Education

Our educational programming includes everything from a 45-minute lecture / demostration on modern dance with professional performance to a full course of education tailored to your students. Every presentation and concert includes a post-performance discussion.

Beginning with the youngest students in creative movement classes, we offer an in-depth group approach which may include modern dance techniques, choreography, and improvisation. In active or passive educational situations, the Mary Miller Dance Company supplies whatever your group’s educational needs require. The Company provides workshops through master classes for students from pre-K through 12; pre-professional modern dance students; and professional modern dancers. The Company also provides classes for persons of all ages who are physically and/or emotionally challenged: deaf and hard of hearing, wheelchair-bound, learning-disabled, etc.

Ms. Miller, certified in psychomotor therapy by New York Medical College’s Mental Retardation Institute, has for many years enjoyed creating and administering the Moving For Life!SM program, a flexible and adaptable course in creative movement for individuals with varying degrees of physical or mental disabilities.

In addition to the usual outreach programs of a modern dance company, the experience of the Mary Miller Dance Company includes work with the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf, the School for Blind Children, new programs at the Hill House, preschool students, persons with disabilities, gradeschool, high school, and college students, and, of course, general and incidental audiences.We can create the educational program you have been seeking! Our years of experience demonstrate only a small part of what we can do.

Our years of experience with such institutions as The Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf and Peebles Elementary School, as well as our new programs being developed for the Hill House, demonstrate only a small part of what we can do.
