Handbook Dance Education

by Paschal Preston

Dance education comprises three independent learning experiences which can be brought to the student: making dance, performing dance, and appreciating dance as an art form. This book provides sixteen themes, built on the principles formulated by the late dancer, Rudolf Laban, which will aid dance teachers in delivering effective and fruitful dance lessons. The contents of the themes cover work for a wide age range, from young children to adult students. Suggestions for a variety of methods and treatments of material, based on a practical approach, are given for each section.
