Join Judith Nelson, MFA, and the Taylor School faculty 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.
