Parents and Staff

Parents - Volunteer Program
CDI has a large and active cadre of volunteers; parents, school administrators and teachers participate in nearly every aspect of the program.  Many contribute in-kind services in addition to hands-on project support. At schools where parent involvement was historically low, teachers and principals have found that CDI helps galvanize parents toward greater participation in their children’s education. Dance transcends language, and in schools where parents speak little or no English, the CDI program gives these parents a unique opportunity for involvement. CDI presents at least two demonstration performances at each school that afford parents an opportunity to experience what their children are learning while interacting with the school’s culture and curriculum in an entertaining and non-verbal way.

Residencies and Staff Development
CDI also conducts two week residencies and in-school professional development programs.
