Austin School of Performing Arts & Dance Therapy
Derrick is currently writing a grant proposal for local and national funding to create a school of performing arts and dance therapy in central Texas. Derrick’s successes at teaching dance at the Texas School of the Blind gave him the idea to create a space that is open to people who usually do not have the opportunity to take classes. In addition to therapeutic purposes, the center will hold artist residencies, master classes, workshops, socials, choreography training, and performances.
