Autorenporträt
Pamela Anderson Sofras, MEd, is a professor emerita of dance and dance education and was the first chair of the dance department in the College of Arts and Architecture at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Charlotte. She has 34 years of experience teaching dance at the university level and has taught and developed courses in modern dance technique, composition, and dance education methods. From 1978 to 1990, she was affiliated with the American Dance Festival as a faculty member. She served as assistant, associate dean, and founding director of the American Dance Festival’s School for Young Dancers. Sofras was part of a team of educators who wrote dance education guidelines for training K-12 dance teachers for North Carolina public schools. She has also developed curriculum materials, supported by state and national grants, for professional arts organizations in New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, and New York. Sofras has been the recipient of six North Carolina Arts Council grant awards to study the choreographic processes of five choreographers as they created works for a professional dance company. The processes were documented and translated into curriculum materials for teachers and for university classes. A charter member of the National Dance Education Organization (NDEO), Sofras has also been curriculum consultant for North Carolina Dance Theatre (currently the Charlotte Ballet) and a site evaluator for the North Carolina Arts Council grant activities. She has received numerous awards for her contributions to the field of dance education, including the NDEO’s Vision Award; the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) College/University Educator of the Year; and the North Carolina Dance Alliance Award. In addition, she received the UNC Service Award in 2002 for her sustained service to public schools. Sofras regularly presents professional development workshops in dance pedagogy for teaching artists and teachers working in public and private schools. Most recently, she has worked with Ballet Met in Columbus, Ohio, and the Alabama Institute for Education in the Arts. She serves as a member of the education committee of the Charlotte Ballet in Charlotte, North Carolina.
