Sharing with the Masters students at NYU’s Steinhardt School of Dance Education

Every year the Ensemble is invited to participate in a performance followed by a round table with the Masters of Dance Education students of NYU. Through these performances and discussions the Ensemble teaches the masters students about how a non-for-profit professional kids company is ran in New York City. We hope that these introductions to the Ensemble’s outreach work will spark new companies throughout the world that follow the same blue prints and ideals.
