About
the Program
Educators tell us that the Core Content in dance is
one of the most difficult for them to approach,
making a high-quality participatory program an
important part of many schools’ teaching strategy.
Using his academy teaching as well as his arts
education background, Morgan creates workshops
involving students in movement as well as connecting
that movement with the appropriate terminology. The
light bulb goes on as students learn what space,
force, and time really mean in the context of dance
– whether that be the jazz, tap, ballet, or modern
genres that Morgan moves effortlessly between.
Particularly in dance, we find that schools are in
very different places, necessitating a tailored
approach to every building. Whether you’re just
getting started with your intermediates or looking
for a good compare/contrast opportunity for your A&H
students at the HS level, Mr. Hulen will work with
your instructional staff to create a program that
builds confidence and competence – not to mention
appreciation and enjoyment!
