Ben F. Locke is happy to be working with Chicago Danztheatre. He loves getting to teach and be the Community Outreach Coordinator for CDE. He currently teaches at Daniel Webster and Pritzker. He loves getting to expose kids to new styles of music, dance, thinking and collaborating. It's always great to see a majority of the kids in his classes that look like him and hopes that the kids appreciate having a teacher that looks like most of them. Ben also loves doing community outreach. He enjoys learning about new organizations and finding new ways to collaborate with other artists. CDE has really helped him grow as an artist and person to appreciate his art and the work that goes into trying to create change and start dialogue.
