PREREQUISITE:
60 hours of credit & 6 credit hours in Educ courses.
This course is for students and teachers who may have little movement/dance experience but wish to learn
more about the way dance is taught in education. Students will learn a conceptual approach to teaching which
uses the elements of movement to create interesting and immediate movement sequences. This work is
intended for the student or teacher who may wish to work within the public school system, community or
other cultural setting. Dance in education seeks to inspire the joy of movement and dance in every member of
the class or group in an inclusive way. We will look at many creative and interesting ways that this can be
achieved. Dance experience is not a prerequisite but a desire to move is. Students should dress comfortably,
as most of the
time
will be spent dancing.
Students will be assessed upon the incorporation of the movement elements into their developing work.
They will have opportunities to experiment, create and perform short movement compositions in small group
situations. We will look at the creative process that is involved in doing this. We will learn about lesson
planning and look at the B.C. Ministry of Education's dance curriculum IRP's.
