Alan is a popular and well-known dance educator, currently teaching at ROCO Dance, College of Marin, and in many public schools where he pioneered an arts education curriculum wedded to the California State Standards. His nationally acclaimed Musicality for Dancers Workshops trained many professional dancers and revealed the conscious path to artistry. In both jazz and contemporary modern, Dance Magazine acclaims: “Alan brings the heart of contemporary dance to life in a technically solid, musically aware and joyously expressive class.”
