Monica Dale grew up on the campus of Connecticut College when it was the epicenter for modern dance as host of the American Dance Festival. As a child, she had experimental creative dance classes and was surrounded with modern art and music. She studied dance at Connecticut College and at the suggestion of faculty, left college for New York City where she trained at the Joffrey, Martha Graham and Cunningham Schools. She later returned to Connecticut and majored in music. Monica pursued Dalcroze Studies to bridge music and dance. She earned her certificate, license and Master of Music in Piano Performance from Ithaca College and has worked professionally as a dancer, pianist, choreographer, and teacher of pre-school through professional levels. After developing an original curriculum merging music, dance and language, Monica founded MusiKinesis, and has published six books including the three-volume Eurythmics for Young Children and an iBook of illustrated dance stories with original music.
