Dawn Davis Loring
Dawn Davis Loring is delighted to announce the publication of her first book, Dance Appreciation, co-written with Julie L. Pentz, published in January 2021 by Human Kinetics.
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) and she directed the dance/theatre company, Mosaic Dance Body (MDB), for over 10 years. 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 as a company that is “not afraid to take themselves a little less seriously to achieve some big laughs”.
She has taught dance for 20 years to adults, youth, and children in situations raging from university technique, live and online dance lecture courses, K-12 in-school and studio classes. As an administrator, she served as the Marketing & Events Officer for the Step into Dance program at the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) in London, held the position of Executive Director for the San Antonio Dance Umbrella, and managed the dance program for a private school.
