Think about the reading and the activities we did in class, as well as your own experience with dance in elementary school. Think about how this approach to childrens' creative dance might be different than studio dance (jazz, ballet, hip hop, etc.) or social dance - why do you think children's dance specialists might focus more on childrens' creative dance for education?
Creative dance gives the children advantages in creating new things, helps with letting students get out of "the box" of learning, and gives them a chance to show off the different creative ideas each student has.
How do you think you might use dance in your own teaching?
I'll probably use dance as a way of teaching about different cultures in Social Studies, as well as dancing about the subject of a book. Another way to teach dance is about feelings, let them show their feelings.
