Brenda Way is a dance scholar and educator who is known for her work in using virtual reality to teach dance.

Virtual reality offers a number of benefits for dance education, including the ability to learn dance from anywhere in the world, providing a safe and controlled environment for students to practice their dance moves, and allowing students to interact with other dancers in a virtual space.

There are a number of challenges associated with using virtual reality in dance education, including the cost of virtual reality equipment, the difficulty of use for students who are not familiar with technology, and the potential for isolation for students who are used to learning dance in a social setting.

Dance scholars can use virtual reality to create immersive dance performances, document and preserve dance traditions, and study the relationship between dance and culture.

The future of virtual reality in dance education and scholarship is bright. Virtual reality is becoming more affordable and accessible, more user-friendly, and more social. This will make it a more valuable tool for dance educators and scholars.
