<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Dance in schools has progressed enormously over the past two decades yet there is no one text which provides a theoretical framework to support the changes in the practice of dance in education. This book fills this gap for students and teachers of dance in primary, secondary or higher education.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This text offers a theoretical and practical framework for the teaching of dance in education. Jacqueline Smith-Autard seeks to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of teaching the art of dance by: examining the processes of composing, performing and appreciating dances; and analyzing how dance education can contribute towards artistic, aesthetic and cultural education. This second edition is updated to cover developments in teaching practice.
