Extract

Given our panel's focus, I will introduce myself by way of my undergraduate dance pedagogy course and highlight what I will be addressing in my remarks this morning. The young women in my dance pedagogy course bring considerable experience in modern, ballet, and jazz technique and are equally skilled as young performers. These students likely represent a good cross section of students in their third year of undergraduate dance programs in the United States. We begin this pedagogy course by looking at the students'experience of teaching in their own training and dance education.
