My Body/Myself: Lessons from Dance Education
I Feel Like I'm Going to Take Off: Young People's Experiences of the Superordinary in Dance
Work by children in every art form has been both romanticized and criticized by adults. Child art has been emulated as "natural" by artists seeking to free themselves from social and historical conventions (Lowenfeld and Brittain 1987; Read 1957, 1973) and to reconnect with qualities of purity and simplicity (Coleman 1998). Such values have been challenged by those seeking a rationale for instructional programs in the arts (Clark, Day, and Greer …
A Question of Fun: Adolescent Engagement in Dance Education
Ever since the publication of A Nation at Risk (National Commission on Excellence in Education, 1983), educational literature and the popular press have been filled with concern over low achievement levels among students in this country. One of the more recent responses has been the development of rigorous national standards, including standards in all the arts ( National Standards for Arts Education , 1994). At the same time, there is recognitio…
Testing Creativity of Dance Students in the Peoples Republic of China
In the past decade there has been increasing concern over the losses that may accompany the benefits of dance training for young people (Abra, 1987/ 88; Brady, J., 1982; Gordon, S., 1983; Innes, 1988; Kirkland, G. with Lawrence, G., 1986; Schnitt, 1990; Stinson, Blumenfeld—Jones and Van Dyke, 1990). An investigation by Zhao Guo Wei (1989), educational psychologist at the Beijing Dance lnstitute, lends further support to these concerns
Journey toward a feminist pedagogy for dance
Voices of Young Women Dance Students: An Interpretive Study of Meaning in Dance
What is dance and what is the experience of dancing? What does dancing mean for those who do it? Dance scholars and critics have written many words in response to these questions. Choreographers give their answers to “what is dance?” in the work they create and, often, in commentary about it. Professional dancers have also spoken, primarily in biographies and autobiographies, of what dance and dancing mean to them. Not all voices are heard in dan…
Piaget for Dance Educators: A Theoretical Study
Most individuals who spend serious time with children recognize that children are not simply small versions of adults. Not only are their bodies different, but they also think differently. The dance educator, just like other educators, must attempt to see the world from the child's point of view if the teaching-learning process is to be successful. One framework for conceiving the world from the child's point of view comes from Jean Piaget, a sci…
