New Challenges in  21st-Century Dance Education
Gayle Kassing

Abstract: To  become competent in today’s society, individuals need multiliteracies. The  21st-century dancer needs to be an artist, choreographer, educator, and  researcher who can meet challenges and make an impact within the profession, as  well as across education, the arts, and society. As dance professionals assess how  to utilize their resources better for sustainability, this first decade of the  21st century is a good time to think about the future of dance education. This  article explains how dance history and heritage can close the gap between dance  performance, theory, research, and scholarship so that each area can develop to  its fullest and be a valued component within 21st-century education.
