Online Learning in Dance Education
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 January 2013
Abstract
Traditionally, dance learning has involved two modes of delivery: visual and verbal instruction. A teacher explains and corrects, demonstrates, and gives tactile feedback to teach students about ideas through movement. She may find it difficult to contextualize concepts through verbal explanation alone and could spend hours searching for appropriate supplements. Even then, students unfamiliar with dance vocabulary and uncomfortable with abstract movement could run into frustration through this limited approach. Education requires a variety of stimuli, and dance education in particular can benefit greatly from the advantages of online learning tools. This presentation will show you how dance educators can easily incorporate twentyfirst-century technologies into their classrooms, thereby enhancing students' comprehension of theories such as feminism.
