Dunham Teacher Certification Workshop
Columbus – Dunham Teacher Certification Workshop
Held at Ohio State Department of Dance, 1813 N. High St. Columbus OH
In-Person: July 12 – 18
The Dunham Teacher Certification Workshop is designed for dance teachers/educators who wish to become certified Dunham Technique teachers. The curriculum covers technique, pedagogy, history and theory. This artist/scholar program is an exciting and rigorous process. Dancers engage in a yearly hybrid process which includes 5 months of online classes and a week-long in-person workshop in the summer, followed by our one week Dunham Technique Intensive. For those on the certification path, the Intensive is a crucial opportunity toward embodiment of the technique. For this reason, we encourage those attending the Certification Workshop to also attend the Intensive. The program usually requires 3 to 4 years to complete all course work and an additional 1-2 years to fully develop the culminating portfolio and the teaching practicum.
Congratulations to those of you who are part of this year’s cohorts!

This year, for the second time, we will offer a new program called Dunham Foundations, to be held the week prior to the Intensive, July 13-18, 2026. This programming is intended for dancers who are interested in certification, including those who are applying for 2027 and those who wish to apply in the future. Places are limited, so early registration is advised.
This week of Dunham Technique classes, along with a few folkloric classes and some lectures, will help those applying for certification ready themselves for the Intensive and the audition. We recognize that it is hard to find Dunham training and we offer Dunham Foundations to address this. Dunham Foundations is optional but highly recommended for applicants
