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.
