Teaching the Young Child: A Brain-Compatible Dance Workshop at Taylor Center for Dance Education!

 

Join Judith Nelson, MFA, and the Taylor School faculty on Sunday, March 22nd from 1:00-3:00pm for an immersive workshop exploring and practicing effective ways of teaching dance to young children. Since the first five years of a child’s life are critical for neurological and social-emotion growth, brain-compatible dance is a vital tool for a healthy start!
 

In the workshop participants will explore:

- Rhyming BrainDance and the importance of its patterns for healthy body and brain development
- How to focus a class with a cohesive, conceptual approach that emphasizes creativity, skills, imagination and the joy of dance
- How to use the 5-part lesson plan developed by renowned dance educator, Anne Green Gilbert.
Other areas of lesson plan creation; such as music resources, teaching divergent learners.
