If you've shied away from teaching dance-related movement skills
in your class because you're unfamiliar with the subject or think
your class won't be interested, consider this: Creative movement
exercises help young people develop important learning skills, such
as group dynamics, listening, problem solving, and language. Plus,
creative movement skills are a fun way to introduce students to
using movement as a form of expression.
Now there's a resource that makes it easy for you to include
creative movement exercises in your class so that your students can
learn these valuable skills. "Perpetual Motion: Creative Movement
Exercises for Dance and Dramatic Arts" helps you get both female
and male students excited about dance, build essential skills, and
improve educational outcomes--even if you've never taught movement
exercises before.
"Perpetual Motion" introduces more than 100 movement exercises
organized around six themes: rules, recipes, props, poetry and
prose, objects and images, and integrated arts.
Everything you need is here to inspire students to step out of
their movement comfort zones and develop their own potential. Each
chapter identifies a theme, specific learning skills, recommended
exercises, and a strategy for stimulating class discussion about
the exercises. Plus, teachers have the convenience of being able to
select exercises from 12 categories of learning skills.
You can adapt these versatile exercises with ease and success to
challenge beginners as well as skilled dance students. Within each
exercise you'll find variations you can use to increase the
difficulty, add variety, and create more than 90 entirely new
exercises.
The book includes other features to make the movements easy to
teach: -A 15-minute warm-up routine builds teachers'
confidence.
-A glossary of movement terms ensures clear communication when
integrating projects.
-A handy "finder" chart lets you quickly identify exercises that
meet the learning skills you want. "Perpetual Motion" will enable
any teacher to successfully integrate creative movement exercises
into general classroom, physical education, dramatic arts, and
language arts classes. There is no better reference for overcoming
students' fears about dance and helping them develop vital learning
skills that will pay off in any educational setting.
