"All She Wants to Do is Dance" We tend to think of dance as a female-dominated field. But is it? Assistant teaching professor Sandra Parks breaks down the ways the industry keeps women out of leadership positions, and what needs to be done to bring about change.
At Canada’s National Academy of Dance Education we are proud to not only support women in dance leadership, but give our dance educators access to amazing women in dance leadership., because as The Dance Data Project states there are “gender imbalance in artistic and administrative leadership in dance companies, venues, and organizations.” Today we will discuss the current climate from the perspective of women in dance. We welcome the Founder/CEO of Women in Dance Ms Sandra Parks to our program today. Sandra Parks is a choreographer, dance educator, and an advocate for female leadership. She is the founder and CEO of Women in Dance, a non-profit organization that promotes female leadership in dance and related fields. Sandra holds her BFA from New York University and MFA from Smith College, MA. Originally from Taipei, Taiwan, Sandra danced as a soloist with Four Seasons Ballet and Wu-I (ee) Dance Company. Sandra has been a faculty member of many renowned universities and colleges including Boston University and Louisiana State University. She is currently a full-time assistant teaching professor and the Dance Program Director at Drexel University.
