Learning through Dancing
While dancing is a form of physical education or extracurricular activity in schools, the utility of dance as a learning aid and process remains underexplored. Pioneers in Education, Somatic practices, Dance Pedagogy, and Cognitive Science have all demonstrated the benefits and potentials of dance and movement to engage the whole student, and yet dancing in the classroom is the exception, not the norm. Learning through Dancing wants to change that. By collecting, connecting, and developing dance practices for use in primary to tertiary school classrooms, and working on making such practices more accessible and understandable for everyday teachers, Learning through Dancing includes every body in the room.
