| Making Connections: Dance History in the Classroom |
| This participatory session provides information and activities that link your movement and/or dance syllabus with the history and cultural context of the dance forms you teach. Contextualizing the dances gives them deeper meaning, fosters inclusion of dance as an academic subject, and suggests interdisciplinary connections. In this session, participants will work with assessable activities that give life to the steps your students have learned, and will practice coding the activities to the National Standards for Dance Education. This session is especially appropriate for teachers of movement/dance in middle school and high school. |
