Creative dance for learning

"The art of dance is part of the core curriculum defined by the National Education Standards and affirmed in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2002, but dance is often absent from the educational environment, Creative Dance for Learning: The Kinesthetic Link gives teachers the means to make movement expression a part of students' lives and to help them develop their kinesthetic intelligence through engaging the "movement sense" that enables people to feel, interpret, coordinate, and craft physical experience. The text shows teachers how to tap into this rich modality of learning to integrate many goals of education, including self-awareness, creativity, fitness, and individual and group problem-solving skills. Extensive lesson plan applications demonstrate how movement activities can be linked to academic subjects."--BOOK JACKET
