Brain Compatible Dance Education
As teachers we are always concerned with "Best Practices". Now there is a wealth of information on what Best Practice means, how the brain functions and how teachers and students can work together to create the best learning environment. Dance educators can use this information to provide brain compatible dance education for all students at all levels of development and learning. During this practical pre-conference workshop, we will explore ways to use this information to help us be better teachers. The workshop will be a combination of discusion and dancing and will be presented using brain compatible techniques. The workshop is applicable to all dance educators at all levels.
