Anne Green Gilbert's Brain-Compatible Dance Education, Second
Edition, strikes the perfect balance between hard science and
practicality, making it an ideal resource for dance educators
working with dancers of all ages and abilities. Gilbert presents
the latest brain research and its implications for dance educators
and dancers. She makes the research findings accessible and easy to
digest, always connecting the science to the teaching and learning
that takes place in classrooms and studios. This new edition of
Brain-Compatible Dance Education features Gilbert's unique
BrainDance warm-up, made up of eight developmental movement
patterns for people of all ages, from birth to older adults. This
BrainDance warm-up helps dancers improve focus and productivity as
it invigorates their minds and bodies and gets their synapses
firing. In addition, this edition offers the following new
material: * 24 new lesson plans geared to all age groups, from
birth on up * New tips and tools to strengthen your teaching skills
and provide a foundation for advocating for dance in schools and
communities * A new web resource that includes 11 video clips of
BrainDance with variations for diverse audiences, as well as
printable lesson plans, posters, charts, and assessment templates
The video clips on the web resource are great teaching aids that
show you real-world examples of how the movements are done. The
clips show dancers from infants to seniors, from beginners to
advanced students, and those with special needs. The text is
organized into three parts. Part I presents the theory behind
brain-compatible dance education, offering an overview of the
latest brain research, outlining the 10 principles of
brain-compatible dance education, and exploring how to plan
engaging lessons and use tools to assess your dancers. Part II
describes the lesson plan elements in depth, including warming up,
exploring concepts, developing skills, creating, and cooling down.
In part III, Gilbert offers her new sequential and holistic lesson
plans for ages 0 through 4, 5 through 8, 9 through 18, and adults.
Brain-Compatible Dance Education, Second Edition, will revitalize
your dance classes by improving your students' focus as they
perform the repetitions that are so necessary for skill
development. It will help you understand the vital link between
movement and cognition, develop holistic lesson plans for any age
and population, and bring the joy of movement into students' lives.
