Nancy J. Duncan has had an eclectic career spanning over 50 years of experience in the performing arts as a dancer, educator, producing director, manager, and arts management consultant.Nancy's dance training started under Nevorah Adams in South Dakota and it was through Nevorah's hosting of a summer dance residency taught by Loyce Houlton and two of her dancers, Frances Machala and David Voss, that her passion for dancing fully ignited. Under the tutelage of Houlton and her beautiful, diverselyskilled dancers and many guest artists at the Contemporary Dance Playhouse in Minneapolis, later renamed Minnesota Dance Theater, Nancy developed her skills as a dance teacher and performer.Upon moving to New York City in 1981, Nancy began forming her own artistic vision and mission greatly inspired by Loyce Houlton's vision. Working in partnership with composer Scott Killian and dancer Jackie Goodrich, and in consultation with Lawrence Rhodes, esteemed dancer, teacher and Chair of the New York University Tisch School for the Arts Dance department, Nancy conceived and founded CoDanceCo (collaborative dance company).Nancy and her team established CoDanceCo as a production company devoted to nurturing the creative development of dance artists and providing audience access to outstanding dance artistry that reflected the creativity and eclecticism of contemporary dance. CoDanceCo was designed as a highly flexible organizational model that could adapt to the ever-changing world of dance creators, performers, collaborators, educators, presenters, and audiences.From 1982-1991 Duncan commissioned and presented works created by 28 choreographers, 14 composers, and 50 dancers. Choreographers commissioned over the years include Eiko & Koma, Ralph Lemon, Susan Marshall, Bebe Miller, Mark Morris, Charles Moulton, Ohad Naharin, Doug Varone, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane, among others. Duncan's work through CoDanceCo garnered Duncan a 1991 New York Dance and Performance Award Citation (aka Bessie).Highlights from 1991-2003 include serving as the artistic director for London Contemporary Dance Theatre; producer of a four-week British dance festival in New York City, project management for Arts International, and Community Outreach Programs Director for Mikhail Baryshnikov's White Oak Dance Project production PastForward, touring both nationally and internationally.From 1996-2003, under the umbrella of CoDanceCo, Duncan managed to keep producing projects to support dance artists and their audiences through her membership in the New York State DanceForce. The projects were accomplished in partnership with NY state artists, presenters, and educators. In 2003 Duncanrelocated to Long Island and established a new home base for her work through CoDanceCo. During this time Duncan also served as a member of the Suffolk County Citizens Arts Advisory Board, became a founding member of the Patchogue Arts Council, served on the Board of the Patchogue Theater, among other opportunities.In 2006, Duncan was introduced to Pierre Dulaine's arts-in-education, social-emotional in-school residency program titled “Dancing Classrooms.” Working in partnership with Dulaine, Duncan secured a two-year grant from the Dana Foundation to have CoDanceCo become the licensed national network affiliate site on Long Island. Pierre and his staff trained Duncan and a team of teaching artists in the Dancing Classrooms syllabus and the company launched its first in-school residencies in the winter of 2008. Since the founding of DancingClassrooms on Long Island, CoDanceCo's teaching artists have touched the lives of over 30,000 youth, adults, educators and families with the transformative power of Dancing Classrooms. For youth and adults alike, the program creates meaningful social connections, inspires respect for diversity, and instills self-confidence all through the joy of social dance.

Get ready to put on your dancing shoes! In this week's episode of Jelly Jam Spam, Julia Jam and Jelly Joel are dancing around Take the Lead, a 2006 dance drama that explores the life of dance instructor Pierre Dulaine, the founder of Dancing Classrooms. We'll be exploring our personal connections to ballroom dancing, the high-stakes world of competitive dancing and...Sister Act 2?

Catherine Charlton, Executive Director, and Andrew Polunin, Artistic & Education Director of Dancing Classrooms Philly, discuss their program, that teaches social dancing to 5th and 8th grade classes to Delaware Valley schools who are lack arts and music programming. Founded by Broadway dancer Pierre Dulaine and featured in the film, Mad Hot Ballroom, the 20-week class teaches the entire grade classic dances such as the Merengue, Foxtrot, Swing and the Waltz, a process that helps students develop self–esteem, social awareness, mutual respect, teamwork and joy. In addition to learning the dances, students are engaged in academic development by researching cultures, creating art, and writing self-reflection papers. The chapter was the first to adopt round-robin, gender-neutral dance partners so that no student has to lead or follow, and during the COVID years when touching wasn't possible, they added Hip-hop, Latin, and K-pop. These dance programs offer more flexibility for schools, are more manageable for younger students, and focus on cultures that influenced the dances. Everyone participates, with non-dancing students providing music or writing about the program, and at the end of the dance residency the students perform a final showcase for families and friends and student who wish to continue are eligible to join the Saturday Academy where they can learn more steps and dances and meet other dancers from other schools. In addition to their flagship course, they have a variety of social dance programs for students from K through 12th grade, including in-school and after-school assemblies and residencies, community workshops, and performances opportunities to cultivate essential life skills in students. Classes are taught by dancing professionals who are trained to teach in the Dancing Classrooms method.   To learn more, check their calendar of events, to donate or enroll your school, visit dancingclassroomsphilly.org

In der Vorfolge hat uns Pierre Dulain alles über sein Tanzkonzept "Dancing Classrooms" erzählt und dass es dieses Jahr nun auch in Deutschland gestartet ist. Dafür kam er eigens her um Schüler in Tanzen zu bringen und Tanzlehrer in seiner Unterrichtsmethode, die Dulaine-Methode, auszubilden. Auf dem diesjährigen INTAKO 2019 setzte er sich mit Beteiligten zusammen und wertete für alle aus, wie sich das Programm entwickelt. Diese Podiumsdiskussion ist Teil 2 zu Ehren Pierre Dulains Lebenswerk und absolut hörenswert, wenn du schon seine erste Folge gehört hast bzw. ein umfassendes Bild über seine Arbeit bekommen möchtest!

Pierre Dulaine hat vor vielen Jahren das Projekt "Dancing Classrooms" entwickelt, das inzwischen an zahlreichen Schulen in vielen Ländern der Welt umgesetzt wird, nun auch in Deutschland. Er und seine "teaching artists" erarbeiten Paartanz mit Kindern der 5. und 6. Klasse. Seine zentrale Idee dabei ist, dass eine Aufforderung zum Tanz bedeutet, dass man die Erlaubnis erbittet, jemanden anderen anzufassen. Respekt ist dabei der Schlüssel. In diesem Interview erzählt uns Herr Dulaine alles über seine Intentionen zu diesem Projekt und welche Vision er noch verfolgt!

Antonio Banderas spiller den pæne herre, Pierre Dulaine, der beslutter sig for at hjælpe eleverne på en skole i et social belastet kvarter, ved at lære dem dans. Fornem dans. Ballroom dans. Det lyder som en tåbelig idé, hvad fanden skal de her unge bruge fine dansekundskaber til? Men måske er Pierres plan ikke så dum alligevel? Måske kan han noget ingen andre kan? Måske kan han give disse unge en chance, selv alle andre har givet op overfor dem? http://www.ikassenshow.dk/2018/11/i-kassen-472-take-lead-2006.html

About our guestHow is it to have such an interesting life that you had a movie made after it? Pierre Dulaine surely knows. Along with his partner Yvonne Marceau, he won the Blackpool exhibition section four times. But even though he was a force in the professional dancer's community, he had a bigger call for teaching.   He received the Americans for the Arts Award, the prestigious Ellis Island Medal of Honor, the Carl Alan Award or the United Nations nomination as a Goodwill Ambassador for promoting peace. The Dulaine teaching method combines the love for humankind with the love for dance to give birth to a wonderful synergy between the two in projects such as Dancing Classrooms. He does more than teaching steps, he teaches touching a human being with grace and respect in face of segregation and prejudice. One small step in a dance class, one giant step for humanity.
