A theoretical and practical course in teaching movement to
children and adults, this course will center on materials
and methods of dance and movement education in their
technical, creative, scholarly, and musical aspects and on
development of the student-teacher's own values, interests
and teaching style. Work will include readings and written
assignments, observation and evaluation of other dance
classes for approach and methodology, and weekly movement
and music assignments on class preparation and presentation.
Practice teaching in area schools will be required either
concurrently with this course or during the following
semester. Credit (.50) for teaching will be given under
Dance Teaching Practicum (DANC447). Students with dance,
theater, music, or education backgrounds and with an
interest in teaching within a classroom, studio, or
rehearsal context will find the materials of this course
directly applicable.
