What is the Art of Teaching Dance?
Great dance teaching involves mastery and is an art in itself. A great teacher can change lives and inspire many. Ausdance VIC’s The Art of Teaching Dance is an exciting and detailed training program that explores and applies best teaching practices for a range of contexts through 3 discrete modules:
Designing a Dance Program
This module explores the craft involved in creating a dance teaching program. Participants consider dancer motivations and learning styles and discover how people learn and develop new skills. They plan for inclusive practice and develop tools for scaffolded learning so that dance students can progress safely and steadily. They consider work, health and safety regulations as they prepare their programs. The module has assessment opportunities build into the training days with some further assessments to be submitted post-workshop. 2 days.
Safe Dance Practices
The Safe Dance module examines the anatomy and physiology of the dancing body through theoretical and practical perspectives. Learners investigate the structure, purpose and function of bones, joints and muscles and how these enable movement. They consider stages of physical and cognitive growth from toddlers to pregnancy, and learn how these stages influence teaching approaches and dance students’ experiences. The Safe Dance module addresses common dance injuries and Injury prevention from physical and mental health perspectives and explores warm up processes that meet individual and stylistic demands
