Every Body Move

This professional development workshop equips educators with practical Every Body Move (EBM) strategies rooted in Camille A. Brown & Dancers’ culturally inclusive curriculum. Led by Ethel Calhoun, the session explores approaches for creating engaging, affirming learning environments that reflect students’ diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives. Educators will leave with adaptable tools and strategies they can integrate into their classrooms and everyday teaching practice.

Ethel Calhoun has over 20 years of performance and dance instruction, from the community level to the New York stage. She serves as a teaching artist with both Camille A. Brown & Dancers and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, choreographing and teaching dance styles from West African Dance to liturgical dance and serving as a Community Facilitator for Camille A. Brown & Dancers’ signature Every Body Move program.
