Abstract
This article follows a university dance educator's journey through shifting pedagogy to create a more equitable learning environment, turning traditional didactic dance education models inside out. Inside-Out Prison Exchange Pedagogy, designed to facilitate dialogue across differences, was utilized for a movement-based course of university students and incarcerated students learning together in a Philadelphia women's correctional facility. This reimagining of the dance classroom with an emphasis on creating equity, deepening a sense of civic awareness, and approaching movement as a universal language was utilized to build empathy and connect people with different life experiences.
