About this event

Michael Montoya is a professional dancer, choreographer, and dance educator with over 30 years’ experience in the field. In addition, he is also a fully certified teacher currently working with the New York State Education Department providing technical support to school districts and community-based organizations in the areas of LGBTQ student support, juvenile justice initiatives and state grant programs.

In this presentation, Michael will share video interviews of lesbian, gay, non-binary, and transgender dancers as they candidly discuss how rigid gender and sexual identity expectations have negatively affected them in training, performance, and their personal lives. Additionally, Michael will share suggestions for changes to dance practice designed to provide increased support and affirmation of LGBTQ+ dancers.
