Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the under-representation of LGBTQIA+ individuals not only on stage but in the classroom. As our society keeps evolving, art forms such as dance should transform alongside it, instead of being stuck in the past. Although history and foundation are an extremely important segment of dance and the evolution that it has overcome throughout time, modifying aspects of dance to make it more inclusive is only to make sure it evolves along with society. This evolving guide can help us find a way to start creating a better future of dance for LBGTQIA+ youth.
