As members of DEEA individuals and organizations participate in our BE COURAGEOUS courses. We utilize the five stages of learning (we split up stage 4 to add a 5th) in order to implement our universal expectations of safety, equity, and inclusivity in focused way to accommodate the specific needs of each individual and organization. Our courses are collaboratively taught by our DEEA Guides, Advocates, and community organizations that specialize in Anti-Racism, Anti-Othering, and Anti-Abuse work. Our BE COURAGEOUS courses consist of 3 tiers of training: Initiate, Cultivate, and Dedicate. Each tier is 40 hours, and training is broken down into 10 hour segments, which we call building blocks. Every participant starts with Initiate 10, which is a 10 hour course, held over a period of two days. For completion of each course participants will receive a certificate to mark their continued training to ensure dance education is for all.
