Abstract

This thesis examines the integration of arts entrepreneurship into childhood dance education, leveraging my extensive teaching experience. Addressing an existing gap in pedagogy, it explores how entrepreneurial skills can enhance short and long-term curricula, empowering young dancers beyond technical training. This research emphasizes a holistic approach, aiming to foster adaptability, resourcefulness, and innovation in creative minds. By equiping teachers to infuse entrepreneurial concepts into the dance curriculum, it enriches artistic training and cultivates crucial life skills early in students' journeys. Through theory and practical application, this research advocates for positioning arts entrepreneurship as a fundamental aspect of childhood dance education, equipping individuals for the dynamic demands of the arts industry and beyond."
