We encourage authors with independent sector practices to share their experiences with our readers. You do not need to be an experienced writer to submit—we mentor authors! 

Dance Education in Practice considers articles for publication focused on practical approaches to dance education and teaching that provide educators with models of new ideas, strategies, and content they can apply to their own practice, targeted toward dance studio teachers, P-12 dance educators, postsecondary teacher education professionals, teaching artists, and dance education undergraduate and graduate students. Articles will be concise (1000-3000 words) and communicate innovative ideas in a "how to" format. Graphics and pictures will support article content. 

All manuscripts should be submitted online via the ScholarOne website. http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/udep20#.V5-PeFfrJeA
