Subject:

Description:

This course is designed to introduce students to various forms of dance such as folk, square, social, popular, and creative dance. The forms of dance are presented in developmentally appropriate units. Emphasis is on learning the dance patterns and performing them with proficiency. Methods and materials for the dance educator will also be presented. *This course emphasizes competence and acquisition of skills that will enable future physical educators and recreation specialists to positively influence their prospective students with regards to the unique benefits dance brings within each of the three domains. We emphasize enjoyment rather than perfection, encouragement rather than the "I can't" attitude and anxiety caused by such beliefs. We as teachers can influence and encourage students to use dance for fitness, enjoyment, and for positive social interaction throughout their lives.
