We’re thrilled to announce that Derek Reid will be teaching Ballet at the festival!

Derek Reid, Professor of Dance, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the table. With a B.F.A in Dance Performance from Butler University and an MA in Organizational Leadership and Development from Gonzaga University, Derek’s journey in dance has taken him across the globe. From the Louisville Ballet to the Dance Theatre of Harlem, Derek’s professional career has been nothing short of remarkable, with leading roles in works by renowned choreographers like Choo San Goh, William Forsythe, and Jiri Kylian.

Derek’s passion for dance led him to become Associate Dean of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access at Butler University’s Jordan College of the Arts. His commitment to building a diverse and inclusive community within the arts is truly inspiring, and we’re honored to have him as part of our festival lineup.
