Synopsis

Widely acclaimed as a source book of ideas for schools, community groups and all those working creatively with children, Children Dancing is invaluable for those who know little about dance as well as the more experienced. This new edition has been updated and revised to include new material and the numerous links between dance and other art forms are emphasized. Since Children Dancing was first published, a huge interest has developed in community dance and the increase in its provision has made it far more accessible. By using dance in schools, teachers have the opportunity to explore the connection between dance, music, the visual arts and language and to provide a base for inter-community arts.

From the Author

Children Dancing, essentially a practical book, will be of use within many (of these) contexts and within any type of school or community group. Underlying these ideals is my belief in the joy and value of dance, not only for the individual but also for society.
