Malke Rosenfeld

Malke Rosenfeld is a percussive dance teaching artist, author, TEDx presenter, and editor. In her program Math in Your Feet percussive dance becomes the platform for a robust choreographic inquiry into mathematical thinking, practices and topics. Malke delights in creating rich environments in which children and their adults can explore, make, play, and talk math based on their own questions and inclinations.

Malke's interdisciplinary inquiry focuses on the intersections between dance and mathematics and how to best illustrate these connections for students. She is also interested in conversations around embodied cognition in mathematics learning, task and activity design in a moving math classroom, and elementary math education.
