teacher friendly manual, replete with hundreds
of ideas, lesson plans, photos and how-to suggestions for any
teacher of
movement and dance. The book covers fifteen different Space,
Time, Force,

adults.
Special sections address class management, special education,
assessment,
videos,
books, music, and props. The text is divided into two

dance. These five chapters include information on how to
structure lessons, class management techniques, working with
special populations, ways to begin and end class, and creative
ways to practice skills. Also covered is the BrainDance, a
beneficial exercise that focuses the brain for learning and
warms up all parts of the body for dancing. Part II introduces
15 dance concepts (place, level, size, direction, pathway,
focus, speed, rhythm, energy, weight, flow, body parts, body
shapes, relationship, and balance) and describes hundreds of
ways to explore this dance vocabulary using a sequential and
progressive five-part lesson plan format.Read more
