ACC Dance welcomes Dawn Davis Loring to our faculty! Dawn is already teaching for us this summer. This fall, look for her online World Dance and her face to face Dance Appreciation on the Highland Campus. Read more about her here:

Dawn Davis Loring recently published her first book, Dance Appreciation, in January 2021 (Human Kinetics), co-written with Julie L. Pentz, and maintains the Today in Dance resource and podcast on her website. Dawn has been writing about dance since 1998 and has published articles and reviews in The Boston Globe, The Dancing Times magazine (UK), the Austin Chronicle, and the Journal of Dance Education (JODE). She directed the dance/theatre company, Mosaic Dance Body (MDB), for over 10 years and her choreography has been described as "goofy, pointed political theatre" by the Boston Globe, and by the Austin American-Statesman as “fresh and clever with a sarcastic wit,” and MDB is described as a company that is “not afraid to take themselves a little less seriously to achieve some big laughs”. She has taught dance for over 20 years to adults, youth, and children in situations ranging from universities, to K-12 public and private schools, and studio classes. As an administrator, she served as the San Antonio organizer for the first IAHPEDS World Conference in July 2022, and she has worked with the Royal Academy of Dance in London and the San Antonio Dance Umbrella. She is delighted to be teaching Dance Appreciation and World Dance at ACC.
