Today we take a moment to highlight another great program in higher education, Salve Regina University.  We were lucky enough to speak with Department Chair and Dance Program Coordinator, Lindsay Guarino, about this unique program.  Lindsay also has had a hand in changing the program and has been involved in some incredible projects.  Located in Rhode Island, this program has specialty focuses as well as flexibility.    We hope you enjoy our chat today with Lindsay Guarino.Program overview:At Salve Regina University, the bachelor's degree in dance offers a transformative education through the study of dance in a liberal arts environment.  Through the curriculum, students engage in critical dialogue, physical practice and creative production as they study dance history, theory, technique, performance, composition and pedagogy.  Students develop their artistic voices across a range of styles, including jazz, contemporary, tap, hip hop and ballet.  The curriculum emphasizes jazz studies with courses designed to honor, investigate and practice jazz as a historically Black American art form best understood through awareness of one's own identity and culture.  Community is at the heart of Salve Regina's dance program with an environment that encourages and supports individuality, personal creativity, dynamic exchanges of energy, risk-taking and resilience - all enduring values within the jazz aesthetic.About Lindsay:Lindsay Guarino is a jazz dance artist, educator and scholar.  As associate professor and department chair of Music, Theatre and Dance at Salve Regina University in Newport, RI she has grown the dance program from a minor to a B.A. focused in jazz and justice.  As an educator and a leader, Lindsay prioritizes community at the heart of her practice and seeks to cultivate spaces where individuality is celebrated and recognized as vital to personal and collective growth.  Lindsay's commitment to revealing and preserving jazz dance in connection to its roots led her to co-edit Jazz Dance: A History of the Roots and Branches (University Press of Florida, 2014), and the award winning text Rooted Jazz Dance: Africanist Aesthetics and Equity in the Twenty-First Century (UPF, 2022).  Through the National Dance Education Organization, Lindsay developed and planned two special topics jazz dance conferences (2016 & 2019) and developed and taught Jazz Dance Theory and Practice for their Online Professional Development Institute.  She appears in and consulted on the documentary Uprooted: The Journey of Jazz Dance (2020), available on HBO Max.Thank you for listening Jam Fam!

This week on 5.6.7.EIGHT, Aleksandra interviews Cory-Jeanne Houck-Cox, a choreographer, teacher, regional and national dance adjudicator, and retired prima ballerina. During her run as a ballerina, Cory-Jeanne gained recognition nationally and internationally, having performed for American presidents and having co-created and performed award-winning pieces for the Kennedy Center. Houck-Cox’s true passion is in educating others to love the art of dance, having served as a teaching artist or adjunct faculty at several institutes of higher education. She is now heavily involved in the National Dance Education Organization, working to offer professional development opportunities for dance teachers. On the podcast, Cory-Jeanne lays out her entire ballet career, from her late start as a ballet dancer to the day she accepted that life without dancing was okay. Along the journey, she shares life lessons that she picked up from the art, including how to appropriately accept criticism and how to push through difficulty. One thing that becomes abundantly clear is Houck-Cox’s love of education, and on the podcast, she details how she is furthering dance education across the world and even gives some practical advice on how, from her experience, to best teach dance to the younger generation.   Moving Quotes: “Whether my students make it as dancers or even choose to be dancers, it doesn’t matter as long as they have a love of dance." “You have to have a fairly thick skin to be able to deal with the [dance] critiques because… there are times when the teacher would say something, and you’d just want to go in a corner and cry… But they would look at me and say, ’That’s your homework.’" “It wasn’t just going into the studio and walking away. It’s a completely different way of life… ‘Okay, how can I make myself better? How can I become better at what I’m trying to achieve?’ It’s constant improvement in your craft." “With the Internet and Instagram, it’s completely changed the process of how kids process dance, in my opinion." “The hardest moment [of retiring from dance] was being able to say, ‘Okay, I’m able to do this and find happiness in another area of my life that doesn’t require me to necessarily dance… That was a defining moment in my life." “It’s a total package — of being able to have your own self-protection, to be strong enough to take what comes at you. But at the same time, pliable enough to take the corrections and be able to allow yourself the freedom to move in the ways that they are asking. But at the same time, realizing how did they do it before [in the history of ballet] and why and how can I improve upon it."
