PREREQUISITE:

60 credit hours including six hours in education courses.

DESCRIPTION:

This course is designed for people with or without dance training, who want to teach dance in arts, P.E.

classroom contexts, or integrate movement education within a wider professional community. In this

experiential (improvisation based) class, students will develop an understanding of the movement

concepts (action, space, time, force, and relationship), which are the framework for making and teaching

dance. This course will explore dance as a non verbal and artistic language, and students will be

introduced to the creative process involved when using and teaching dance as an expressive art form.

Opportunity will be given to utilize the art of improvisation as a way of discovering movement

language. Opportunity will be given to incorporate dance movement in the various areas of curriculum,

as well as the centrality of movement to embodied curricular learning. Time will be given to explore

movement, create and perform, as well as observe and take part in the work of others

REQUIRED READING:

Gilbert, Anne G. Creative Dance for All Ages. National Dance Association: APHERD.
