Dance Education as an Aspect of Movement and Mobility in Everyday Living
Koff, Susan R.
Quest, v57 n1 p148-153 Feb 2005
Dance Education can be considered an aspect of everyday living when using the correct definition of dance education. Rather than referring to the rarified form of movement that we encounter on the concert stage, dance education is the education of our moving selves with the goal as self expression. This can be initiated as an aspect of the initial developmental movement stages encountered by an infant through toddler stage, developed through early schooling in order to counteract the sedentary school lifestyle, and continued through adulthood as an aspect of keeping ourselves as fully integrated thinking, moving, and feeling human beings.
