PREREQUISITE

60 credit hours & 6 credit hours in Educ courses.

DESCRIPTION:

This course is designed for people with or without formal dance training, who want to teach dance in a

variety of contexts. This course will provide students with the opportunity to experiment with dance

elements in order to discover how to teach dance in physical education, the arts, the professional

community, and authentically integrate movement vocabulary concepts into the curriculum. In this

experiential course, students will explore dance concepts (place, size, level, direction, pathway, and

focus) through creative, improvisational opportunities and discover how dance literacy can be used to

motivate children to create their own choreography. Dance and movement vocabulary will also be used

as an embodied approach to teaching and learning in order to deepen understanding of curricular areas

and as a non-verbal expressive mode of communication. Opportunities for dance explorations will

provide students with the necessary tools to instruct in the conceptual approach to creating, performing,

assessing and responding to dance in education.
